Answer 2

@e.mccormick I need to write an easy program. I just don't know how.

Answer 3

What should the program do?

A traditional first program is the 'Hello, World'
It's just one line (Python 2.7 or later)
print ('Hello, World!')

or if you use Python 2.7 or older
print 'Hello, World!'

Answer 4

Programs are usually plain text files. Plain text means that there's no formatting information in the file, the file is just plain text. Depending on you operating system, you probably have one or more plain text editors. Notepad for Windows, TextEdit can be used on a Mac, *nixes have several.

You can test single, or maybe a few, lines of code in the Python shell.

IDLE is an IDE ( Integrated Development Environment ) that combines both of these into one program and handles the communications between the two so that you can write a program in one window and run it in another.

https://www.python.org/ has a lot of documentation.
