You run a Python script file but get no output, even though it has print statements. What is a likely cause?
AYou forgot to save the script file before running it.
BYou typed commands one by one instead of running the file.
CYou ran the script in interactive mode instead of script mode.
DYou used print statements incorrectly.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Check how script files run

    Script mode runs the saved file. If the file is not saved, changes won't run.

  2. Step 2: Understand why no output appears

    If you forgot to save, the old file runs without new print statements, so no output.

  3. Final Answer:

    You forgot to save the script file before running it. -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Unsaved file runs old code, no new output [OK]
Quick Trick: Always save script files before running [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Confusing interactive mode with script mode
  • Thinking typing commands one by one runs script
