Modes of execution in python
Python can be executed in the following two ways. Basically python has two modes namely:
- Interactive mode
- script mode
1. Interactive mode programming
- In this mode of execution we can run commands, can execute single or few lines of code very easily and with the great convenience.
- The symbol “>>>” denotes that the shell is ready for use.

- In this we can execute single or many lines of code and save this in a file with “.py” extension
- For this double click on IDLE -> ctrl+n -> ctrl+s
