PyCharm 中 Python 控制台和终端之间的区别

Question

I am a beginner in Python. I started using PyCharm recently but I don't know what's the difference between Terminal and console. Some of the commands in Terminal do not work in console.

Thank you

Answer 1

Before we can talk about the differences, we need to talk about what the two are in practice. The Terminal, essentially replaces your command-prompt/power-shell on windows and the terminal app on Mac, giving you a way to access them without leaving PyCharm .

The PyCharm console on the other hand, is a more advanced version of the "Python Console", which allows you to run bits of Python. It is also called the Python REPL or R ead E val P rint L oop

You can invoke the Python Console from the terminal as well.

Answer 2

The terminal is your bash or windows command line where you can execute shell or windows "cmd.exe" commands like:

$ cd /
$ ls
$ echo "Hello world!!!"

The Python console is your interactive console where you can execute python code

>>> x, y = 1, 2
>>> x
1
>>> y
2
>>> x + y
3
>>> print("Hello world!!!")
Hello world!!!
