Question

python ./age.py Desktop File "./age.py", line 1 >>> print('Hello World') SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I'm trying to simply print hello world but it's giving me invalid syntax when I try to run it from the terminal and I dont understand why.

Answer 1

You should remove >>> that you have put in age.py file.
File should contain just the below line

print('Hello World')

I guess you got confused with looking in the terminal.
If you type python, then >>> comes automatically in the terminal.
So, if you type below directly, it prints the output

print('Hello World')

But you shouldn't put >>> in file when you write python code
