Python 3.7 & 3.8 and VSCode

Question

I am a beginner at coding and I wanted to start with Python.

I am currently following a free tutorial to install Python 3.7 along with Visual Studio Code.

1. I have installed VS Code.
2. I have installed both Python 3.7 and 3.8 (the latest version available)
3. I've installed the Python and Code Runner extensions.;
4. I am 100% sure that I have added both of them to PATH.

Right now I am trying to run a simple command which is "print("Hello there")", for some reason it says on the output section:

[Running] python -u "c:\Users---\Desktop\whatever.py"

[Done] exited with code=0 in 0.155 seconds

Any recommendation would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Exit 0 means the successful execution of the program and a non zero exit code indicates an error. And it looks like the 'Code Runner' extension caused it. You can try to disable it in order to use the 'Python' extension.
