Python is a high-level language, meaning that the source code is intended for humans to understand. Computers, on the other hand, understand only low-level machine code made up of 1’s and 0’s. Programs written in high-level languages must be translated into machine code to run. This translation process can happen all at once, or a little at a time, depending on the language.
Python is an interpreted language: the source code is translated one line at a time while the program is running. The Python interpreter translates source code into machine code and runs the resulting program. If and when an error occurs, the interpreter stops translating the source code and displays an error message.
Most development environments include a Python shell for experimenting with code interactively. A shell, also called a console or terminal, is a program that allows direct interaction with an interpreter. The interpreter usually runs an entire program all at once. But the interpreter can run one line of code at a time within a Python shell.
What result does the shell display after running the line name = input()?
the name that was input
nothing (except for >>>)
Shortcut Key In Python
In Python, there isn’t a single “shortcut key” because Python is a programming language, not a program with menus or buttons. However, if you’re asking about shortcut keys in Python environments or editors (like VS Code, PyCharm, Jupyter Notebook, or IDLE), here are some helpful ones:
