PROGRAMMING IN PYTHON

Python has two basic programming modes—Interactive mode and Script mode.

Components of Python IDLE Window

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

Menu Bar: The Menu Bar of the Python IDLE window is similar to the Menu Bar of other software
applications. It has various menus such as File, Edit, Shell, Debug, Options, Window, and Help.
Prompt: A prompt is represented by the symbol (three greater than >>>), which indicates that the
Python interpreter is ready to accept commands. It 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.
