Of course.You can type in your source code in notepad and save it as. py file then run it on Python interpreter. But it's so cumbersome to read and find errors and typos in you cade. Try to use another option such as notepad++ or geany.

yes of course, better still, you can type your code it notepad then save it as .py extension, then run it in your powershell. you can also use atom hackable text editor (can be downloaded from atom.io) in place of notepad

no, you can only type it lol, you need a compiler or an interpreter to run it, im pretty sure he means to ask if he can run the code, not write it, i dont think he would ask if he can write code in notepad. He confused the word "program" with the word "run"

For beginners, try to use some IDE which can help you a lot with debugging and save you time on typing. PyCharm or Spyder are two good IDEs. If you just want some editor, Sublime Text is a wonderful tool.
