PROGRAMMING IN PYTHON
Python has two basic programming modes—Script Mode and Interactive Mode.
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
Development and Learning Environment. It is a code editor Opening Python
which helps you to write and execute Python programs in the editor itself.
Components of Python Window
There are two components of Python IDLE window:
Menu Bar: The Menu Bar of Python IDLE window is similar to the Menu Bar of other programs. 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.
