How to run a few selected lines of code in vscode?

Question

How do I execute run Shift + Enter only the selection of highlighted lines of code in vscode?

Edit: Maybe I should be clearer.

when hitting Shift + Enter the following error :

Unable to initialize device PRN

but when I right click > run python file in terminal the code works.

Answer 1

To be able to run multiline selction in interactive window make sure the file is interpreted as a python file. If it is not shift+enter will work for single line, but not for multiline selection.

Answer 2

Visual Studio Code supports working with Jupyter Notebooks natively, as well as through Python code files

read this article for any

Answer 3

Select one or more lines, then press Shift+Enter or right-click and select Run Selection/Line in Python Terminal. This command is convenient for testing just a part of a file.

That is what is on the VS Code documentation for Python and is what works for me. It is Shift + Enter not Ctrl

Note that this needs the Python 3 extension to be installed.

Answer 4

You can just select the lines and then right click > Run Selection/Line in Python Terminal.
