Hi everyone, I am really new to this community. I am really not sure if I can ask this question here or not but please let me know if I should not ask this here. Here are folloing questions

  1. How to run code on IDE or python .py files? I am unable to run codes on them.

  2. I read somewhere that quit() is a commend which will quit IDE or python file. But that is not working on my MacBook. Can anyone help me in this rergards

  3. I am using visual studio in MacBook. So while learning python I am trying to run the code it always forgets its working directory, Is it possible to set a fix working directory folder in python whenever I open any file with extension .py in visual studio?

2

Use exit()

In VS Code you can “open file,” “open folder,” or “open workspace.” The easiest way to run a program from VSC is to click the arrow button in the top-right corner, assuming it has an appropriate interpreter configured.

Thanks for your reply

By appropriate interpreter you mean to say the selection of below 3 options if I am not wrong?

  1. Run Python File
  2. Run Python File in Dedicated Terminal
  3. Debug Python File

Please correct me if I am wrong.
