How To Run Python Code In Visual Studio code

To run Python code in Visual Studio Code, you can use the integrated terminal to execute Python commands, or you can use the built-in debugging functionality to run and debug Python code.

To use the integrated terminal, you can simply open the terminal window in Visual Studio Code (e.g., by pressing Ctrl+Shift+), navigate to the directory where your Python code is stored, and then type in the appropriate Python command to execute your code.

To use the built-in debugging functionality, you can create a new launch configuration in Visual Studio Code’s launch.json file. The launch configuration tells Visual Studio Code how to run your Python code and what arguments to pass to it. Once you have created a launch configuration, you can start debugging your Python code by clicking the “Run” button on the Visual Studio Code toolbar.

Here are some general steps to run Python code in Visual Studio Code:

1. Install the Python extension if you haven’t already done so.
2. Open the Python file that you want to run in Visual Studio Code.
3. Open the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code (e.g., by pressing Ctrl+Shift+).
4. Navigate to the directory where the Python file is located using the terminal.
5. Type the appropriate Python command to execute your code.
6. Alternatively, create a new launch configuration in Visual Studio Code’s launch.json file and start debugging your code by clicking the “Run” button on the toolbar.

I hope that helps!
