To run a Python program, you can follow the steps below:
- Install Python: If you haven’t already, download and install Python from the official Python website (https://www.python.org/downloads/). Choose the version that corresponds to your operating system.
- Write your code: Open a text editor (such as Notepad, Sublime Text, or PyCharm) and write your Python code.
- Save your code: Save your code with a .py extension. For example, if your code is called “my_program.py”, save it as “my_program.py”.
- Open the terminal: Open a command prompt (Windows) or terminal (Mac or Linux).
- Navigate to the directory: Navigate to the directory where your Python program is saved. Use the “cd” command to change directories.
- Run the program: Type “python” followed by the name of your program, and press Enter. For example, if your program is called “my_program.py”, type “python my_program.py”.
Your Python program will now run, and you should see the output in the terminal.
