It looks like you're running the print statement from the python interpreter, which means that when you run a line it will print the line, then (if applicable) the output the line produces.
If you're trying to use the print statement within a python script, you should install the python extension for Visual Studio Code, and use it to run the file containing your script.

I have used the "select interpreter" and i selected "Anaconda" as my interpretor, is this the reason for the echo ?, can i stop this?

How are you running the print command? Is it part of a file, or are you typing it into a prompt?

i looked for the simplest method to run the code, and i reached shift + enter, meaning i select all the codes and use shift + enter

The documentation for the python VSCode extension says to "Select one or more lines, then press Shift+Enter or right-click and select Run Selection/Line in Python Terminal. This command is very convenient for testing just a part of a file.". If you run in the python terminal it will echo (print) each line before executing. If you don't want this you should run the entire file with right click -> run python file in terminal

thanks to you i found the problem, it was indeed because i was running the code using "Shift + Enter" and not using "Run the python file in terminal"
print?
