Creating a new python file in cmd

To create a new Python file in the Command Prompt (cmd), you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Command Prompt:
   • On Windows, you can do this by pressing the Windows key + R, typing cmd, and pressing Enter.
   • On macOS or Linux, you can open the Terminal app.
2. Navigate to the directory where you want to create the new file:
   • Use the cd command to change the current directory. For example, if you want to create a file in the C:\Users\username\Documents directory, you would type cd C:\Users\username\Documents and press Enter.
3. Create a new file:
   • Use the touch command to create a new file. For example, to create a file called my_python_file.py, you would type touch my_python_file.py and press Enter.

Here's an example of how this would look:

C:\Users\username\Documents>cd C:\Users\username\Documents
C:\Users\username\Documents>touch my_python_file.py

This will create a new file called my_python_file.py in the C:\Users\username\Documents directory.

Alternatively, you can use a text editor like Notepad++ or Sublime Text to create a new file. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the text editor of your choice.
2. Create a new file by clicking on "File" > "New" or pressing Ctrl+N.
3. Save the file with a .py extension, such as my_python_file.py.
4. Close the text editor and return to the Command Prompt.

Once you've created the file, you can open it in a text editor or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) like PyCharm or Visual Studio Code to start writing your Python code.
