You have written code that displays a quiz question with answer options. Now let's run it.

The terminal is a text-based interface where you type commands to control your computer. It is where developers run scripts, install tools, and manage projects.

Real Python programs live in .py files. To run one from the terminal, you use the python command followed by the filename. For example, to run a file called hello.py:

python hello.py

python is the interpreter that processes your code. It executes each line in the file from top to bottom.

Your quiz.py file is already here — it contains the code you wrote in the previous chapters. Run it.

Instructions

Run your quiz script.

  1. Run quiz.py with the python command.
