I have tried to run a pretty simple code

x = input("What's x? ")
y = input("What's y? ")

z= int(x) + int(y)

print (z)

But, when I try to run that code from the terminal writing "name_of_the_file.py", I find this error:

"The term "name_of_the_file.py" is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again."

If a right click on where you write the code, and then click on "run python file in terminal", it runs!

I am taking the CS50P, and I see that this should be possible because the teacher is able to do that. What am I doing wrong guys?

Click the play button to run the code, watch the terminal and you can see that it is using the command & c:/WorkSpace/pytest11/.venv/Scripts/python.exe c:/WorkSpace/pytest11/main.py to run the code.

So if you need to manually type commands in the terminal to run the code. You can directly copy the above command.

If you use a virtual environment or have system environment variables configured, you can simplify the python path with the following command

python main.py

PS: main.py is my script file name, you need to modify it to your own file name.

try to follow these steps:

  1. Create a folder where you want your script to run
  2. Open the folder using VS Code: File -> Open Folder
  3. Create your script and save it in the folder
  4. Open a new terminal: Terminal -> New Terminal
  5. Type the command: python name_of_the_file.py
  6. If it doesn't work, try: py name_of_the_file.py
  7. If you are using a python 3 version, try: python3 name_of_the_file.py

My output:

Use python filename.py.

This command should work.

If you're utilizing Python 3 and have both Python 2 and Python 3 installed on your system, you may need to use python3 instead of merely python:

python3 filename.py
