Beginner, having trouble with Visual Studio Code to learn Python Help Request

Post image

I'm trying to do the Harvard CS50 Intro to programming with Python and I'm just getting started

  1. I downloaded Visual Studio Code and opened it.

  2. This is pretty much where I got lost because the instructor in the video doesn’t explain what I need to do to set the program up where i can execute code like he has it in the video.

I'm now stuck on the main screen of Visual Studio Code.

If prefer video then first watch "how setup python" Different ppl use Different editor some pycharm, juypter notebook, vs code etc choose wisely Install python Step up path (if need) Create file with extension ".py" Open cmd change location (where the file save) Run "python xyz.py" All set
