Difference between Python console and Terminal in PyCharm

Question

I am a beginner in Python. I started using PyCharm recently but I don't know what's the difference between Terminal and console. Some of the commands in Terminal do not work in console.

Answer 1

The terminal is your bash or windows command line where you can execute shell or windows "cmd.exe" commands like:

$ cd /
$ ls
$ echo "Hello world!!!"

The Python console is your interactive console where you can execute python code

>>> x, y = 1, 2
>>> x
1
>>> y
2
>>> x + y
3
>>> print("Hello world!!!")
Hello world!!!
