I added a code that says print("Hello World") and saved it
But it gives me a syntax error regardless, am I missing something? I'm new

Now I did add the Python extension before this

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

And then run your code

What is REPL?

fervent sierraBOT
#
Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL)

A REPL is an interactive shell where you can execute individual lines of code one at a time, like so:

>>> x = 5
>>> x + 2
7
>>> for i in range(3):
...     print(i)
...
0
1
2
>>>

To enter the REPL, run python (py on Windows) in the command line without any arguments. The >>> or ... at the start of some lines are prompts to enter code, and indicate that you are in the Python REPL. Any other lines show the output of the code.

Trying to execute commands for the command-line (such as pip install xyz) in the REPL will throw an error. To run these commands, exit the REPL first by running exit() and then run the original command.
