Question

trouble with #0 - how do I type the whole of the program without it initiating each line when I hit ENTER to type the next line?

Answer 1

There are two places you might want to type. One is directly into a Python shell window (runs all statements when you hit enter) or into a Integrated Development Environment, such as IDLE (allows for many lines of code to be executed in sequence by the shell).

Answer 2

Thank you so much for your reply, I learned that the hard way (aka moments before your response). I am clearly new to python (though I took some programming classes years ago in high school) and I find I am having more trouble with the practically nondescript particulars than I am the organizational, structure centered thinking. Again, thanks.
