Python Programming : A Classroom Approach.

2.2 PyCharm.

Let’s use PyCharm.

Open PyCharm: If you have installed PyCharm, open it.

Create a New Project: Create a new project File -> New Project. Select a directory for the location of the project and create it.

Writing the Code: In the project explorer right click and select New -> Python File. Name your file hello.py. Type the following code into the file:

print("Hello, world!")

Running the Code: To run the code in the cell, right click in the code editor and select Run ‘hello’. The output "Hello, world!" should appear in the run window below the code editor.

Understanding Syntax and Basic Program Structure (in PyCharm): The same principles of Python syntax and program structure apply in PyCharm as they do in a regular Python script.

Troubleshooting Common Errors (in PyCharm): If you encounter an error PyCharm will highlight it, and the run window will give you the details, including the type of error, and where it occurred. This will help you fix any problems and PyCharm can help spot errors and typos.
