message that pops up while writing python code on vscode

Question

I am not sure what it is actually called. I am a beginner. I am learning python and using VS Code as my code editor. But when I write codes the message in the red circle highlighted in the screenshot pops up. It's kind of annoying.

Can someone please help me with it? I don't know what it is called and would like to turn it off.

That pop up just shows the structure of the function you are using. It includes parameter hints.

In the image it is showing the structure of print function. It's a useful feature to be honest.

Press esc to cancel out of an individual popup, or set"editor.parameterHints.enabled": false to disable it entirely.

So, that box you have there is the documentation of the method you are calling. In this case, print(). It's actually quite useful. It'll give you a quick description of the parameters that you can pass into the function. For more confusing functions, the auto-documentation is a must have. But, of course, it is up to you.

You can disable it by setting "editor.parameterHints.enabled" to false in your .json

This is a function provided by VS Code to display information such as method parameters. You can turn it off in settings.

Click the gear icon in the lower left corner and select Settings,

then search for parameterhints, and uncheck the options in the picture.

In addition, as mentioned above, you can also add the following configuration to the settings.json file to achieve the same effect.

    "editor.parameterHints.enabled": false
