About the Python 3 online compiler
Python's readable syntax makes it the most popular first language in the world, and this online Python 3 compiler removes the only real barrier left: installation. Write a script, press Run, read the output — including tracebacks, which are printed in full so you can practise reading them.
The runner supports the standard library, standard input, loops, comprehensions, functions, classes, dictionaries, file-free string handling, and exception handling. It is ideal for school and college assignments, interview prep, and working through the Python chapters on this site.
- →Running class assignments without installing Python at home
- →Practising list and dict comprehensions
- →Testing string formatting and slicing rules
- →Solving DSA problems that read from standard input
Python 3 sample programs you can run right now
Copy any snippet into the editor above and press Run. Each one is short on purpose — retype it from memory afterwards.
Comprehensions and dictionaries
marks = {"Aarav": 78, "Priya": 91, "Rohan": 55}
toppers = [name for name, m in marks.items() if m > 70]
print("Toppers:", toppers)
print("Average:", sum(marks.values()) / len(marks))
A comprehension replaces a four-line for loop with one readable expression.
Reading standard input
name = input("Your name: ")
n = int(input("A number: "))
for i in range(1, n + 1):
print(f"{name} x {i} = {i}")
Type the input values in the stdin box under the editor before pressing Run — one value per line.
Common Python 3 errors and how to fix them
IndentationError: expected an indented block
Why: The line after a colon is not indented.
Fix: Indent the body by four spaces. Never mix tabs and spaces in one file.
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str
Why: You joined a number to a string with +.
Fix: Wrap it: "Age: " + str(age), or use an f-string: f"Age: {age}".
NameError: name 'x' is not defined
Why: The variable is used before assignment or is misspelled.
Fix: Assign it earlier; remember Python is case sensitive.
Python 3 syntax cheatsheet
| Concept | Syntax |
|---|
| Print with formatting | print(f"{name} is {age}") |
| List comprehension | [x * 2 for x in nums if x > 0] |
| Function | def add(a, b): return a + b |
| Class | class Dog:\n def __init__(self, n): self.n = n |
| Dict loop | for k, v in d.items(): |
| Exception | try: ... except ValueError as e: ... |
Python 3 compiler FAQs
Which Python version does the compiler run?
Python 3, so f-strings, type hints and the modern standard library are all available.
Can I use input() here?
Yes. Put each value on its own line in the standard input box below the editor before running.
