Quickstart

Getting started with Python is very simple, it requires 3 installations.

• Code Editor (VS Code, Brackets, etc)

• Python Interpreter (Click here)

• Python Extensions (Optional but they make your life easier & better coding experience)

Install the Python interpreter and an IDE/Code Editor of your choice. For the purposes of this content I will stick to Visual Studio Code.

Extensions (VS Code)

If you are using Visual Studio Code, there are a couple of extensions that can make our life easier.

Type "Python" & "Code Runner" into extensions and install all of these as shown

Code Runner is a universal extension meaning it will run any of the supported languages by the extension (C, C++, Java, Perl etc.) If you press ALT+CTRL+N it will run the code for You. You can change this keybind in the settings (I recommend something like F1-F4, Numpad etc.)

Install all of these extensions and head to the next section.
