Hello.
I'm am very new to the whole programming sence.
Welcome. :)
I am trying to catch on but as soon as i want to write a program i've
been told to use like 'notepad' in windows XP and save it as a .py file
i have gotten this far. Am i wrong so far?
It's fine so far. Computer programs (especially ones in python) are text
files which are formatted in a specific way which can be understood and
executed by Python.
When you write your program, you use an editor like notepad and save the
program as a .py file.
You're okay this far. The next stage is to ask Python to execute this
program. You do that by typing
python program.py
and hitting enter.
If i am right why is it that i can't run it in anyway besides it
opening in 'notepad' i've tried opening with Python but it doesn't work.
Have a look at this:
