Question

The difference between the IDLE which in the lecture he refers to as the "shell" and the script which runs the program, but how do you download the part that runs the program?? im so confused :/

Answer 1

Are you using python or what?

Answer 2

Python runs the program. It can be run in an interactive mode, the Python Shell, or on a script where it does the work without you typing every command in a row.

Answer 3

it all makes sense now!! i hate windows 8, i couldnt find all of what i had downloaded and that is why it didnt look the same as in the lecture. all is well now, but thanks for the help :)

Answer 4

Kk. And use ClassicShell or a similar sell replacment if you want to make 8 look more like 7 or earlier.

Answer 5

type GUI into your computers Search box

the shell will pop up

then click file at the top of the shell
and click new
and you will be able to write code on there.
you can write the code directly into the shell though too if you would like, but I like to be able to view it and run it separately myself.

Happy Learnings!
