How have you been learning Python without writing a Python script? Practice is very important for learning to program. Were you using Python's Idle editor without saving any scripts? It isn't hard to get a simple script. 1. Install Python if you haven't already. 2. Write a file named hello.py with this one line in it: print('Hello World') 3. cd into the directory of that file and run the command 'python hello.py'. If 'python' is not a recognized command, update your PATH environment variable to include the directory containing your installed python interpreter, close terminal and open a new terminal to try running again. Otherwise, it should just print: Hello World Showing that your script ran properly. Installing Python in Windows 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Rx_JRkwAjY That shows how to install Python and run Python from a terminal. That doesn't show how to set the PATH environment variable because python was recognized immediately after installation. Just in case you're struggling with a broken code at: https://code.sololearn.com/ccwM7zzG9a1H/#py That code can run with a few fixes made below: number=24 guess=int(input("enter the age")) if guess==number: print ("u guess it right") #the while block stop elif guess>number: print ("it is a little lower than that") else: print ("wrong") The fixes I made include: - consistently indenting code that should be in the if, elif, and else blocks. - added : for the if, elif, and else sections.
