In the terminal you can type python3 and it will dump you into the Python IDE to run your Python code. You can also type python3 <python-file_name>.py and it will run the aforementioned Python file. I thought that perhaps python3 was simply a command, so I tried
python3 print("hello")
expecting the terminal to output hello similarly to just typing echo "hello", but it did not. What I got instead was an error saying
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
Can you not run python code in the terminal in this way? Do you have to be in the Python IDE for this to work? Or am I missing a command option that would allow this?
