Seeing if Python is for me: Trying out W3School tutorial for Python and Already Lost. /u/kelsoul Python Education

Checking out Python in W3 school to get my feet wet through the following link tutorial: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_getstarted.asp

Sadly as I’m following along, I already seem to be having error:

___________________________

Python 3.13.1 (tags/v3.13.1:0671451) [MSC v.1942 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32

Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.

>>> print(“Hello, World!”)

Hello, World!

>>> C:UsersYour Name>python helloworld.py

File “<python-input-1>”, line 1

C:UsersYour Name>python helloworld.py

^

SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character

>>> C:UsersYour Name>python helloworld.py

File “<python-input-2>”, line 1

C:UsersYour Name>python helloworld.py

^

SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character

>>>

>>>

______________________________

If I’m following this right, this should allow me to name the .py (python) file and save it. However, I seem to get a syntax error. Appreciate any guidance on what I’m doing wrong, and let me know if there are better alternative than W3 School.
