I’m new to Python so I don’t know what’s the right term and while doing a course, couldn’t open the file where the code I wrote was saved. Did exactly what was written on the official website and it still doesn’t work.
On Windows one of the basic ways of running your Python program in a file temperature.py
would be:
- Start
cmd.exe
/ Command Prompt (or how it is called in your Start menu) - the Windows command prompt in a terminal - Switch to the directory where the script is (I am guessing the path from your picture):
cd \Users\acer\Desktop\python
- Run your program:
py temperature.py
I looks like you were already running the terminal but you started the interactive Python (also called REPL) there. You tried to execute commands intended for cmd.exe
inside the interactive Python.
