I tried using:

print("Iteration number: ", i)

in my code however I noticed that in the terminal the output message was:

("Iteration number: ", 75)

I realized this might be because the terminal is showing python 2, see image below. Any help and how to change this?

Hello @definis23 ,

For this course, the Python version installed is 2.7, so that’s why the Shells use this version. It shouldn’t be a problem in order to complete the course, since for this particular course the Python version it’s not relevant.
