Open your python terminal. If you didn't install Python, check my old posts. In order to open python, press Windows Key and type "Python" and hit Enter.

It will open Python Terminal. This is just to make sure that you have Python Installed on your computer, we will see other programs with Microsoft Visual Studio.

Once the Python terminal is opened (it will look similar to the command prompt with black and white screen). Three greater than symbol (>>>) will be shown. You can try some in built commands like help(), copyright() and other commands.

Once you type any of those commands, it will take you to that particular topic. Let's say I want to read what print command does, so First I type help(), and then print.

In order to get out of the help menu, need to press Ctrl + C. That will take back you to the original menu (with >>>).

We have something else called IDLE (Python). IDLE is an python's default IDE with lot of options rather than plain command prompt.

We can create files, open existing files, save it, save as, print, debug and much more. You can play around with it, let me know your feedback in the comments.
