Which command checks the Python version on (a) Windows, (b) macOS, (c) Linux? What do you see if it worked?
Need a reminder? The key ideaShow
On macOS and Linux the command is python3. On Windows it is py.
The worked solution
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, compare your working with the solution.
- (a) Windows:
py --version. The commandpython --versionoften works too. - (b) macOS:
python3 --version. - (c) Linux:
python3 --version.
If it worked, the terminal shows Python 3. followed by numbers, such as the version that you installed.
