Working in Interactive Mode

                  Interactive Mode is a command line shell which gives immediate result for each command. In
                  Interactive mode, we type one command at a time. Python executes the given command and
                  gives the output.

                  Follow these steps to start Python and work in Interactive Mode:

                  Step 1   Click on Start button.
                  Step 2    Scroll down the list of programs and click on
                           Python 3.12 folder.

                  Step 3   Click on IDLE (Python 3.12 64-bit).
                  The main IDLE window appears. IDLE stands for Integrated                      Opening Python
                  Development and Learning Environment. It is a code editor which helps you to write and

                  execute Python programs in the editor itself.
                  Components of Python IDLE Window

                  There are two components of Python IDLE window: Menu Bar and Prompt.

                       Menu Bar: The Menu Bar of Python IDLE window is similar to the Menu Bar of other softwares.
                     It has various menus such as File, Edit, Shell, Debug, Options, Window and Help.
                       Prompt: You will see a blinking cursor after the symbol (>>>) in the window. This is known

                     as the Prompt. The Prompt allows the user to enter commands directly into Python and get
                     an output instantly by pressing the Enter key in the next line in Prompt itself.

                                                           Components of IDLE

                  Type the commands at the prompt and you will immediately get the results. Simply, type 3 + 3
                  and press the Enter key. The result 6 appears on the screen in Prompt. Try more values and see
                  what happens.
