python: can't open file 'Functions.py': [Errno 2

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I am trying to run my sample code containing functions but get the following error when running from the command line.

python: can't open file 'Functions.py': [Errno 2

I have checked my environment variables and also reviewed my code. I am currently using JetBrains Pycharm 2018.3.2 version, could this be the issue?

Based on your comments, your code should be like this:

def My1st():

    firstVar = 1

    secondVar = 2

    result = firstVar + secondVar

    print("The result is ", result)





if __name__ == '__main__':

    My1st()

Notice the concatenation in the print statement and the name attribute.
and then if you're on windows(as it looks like you are),

py Functions.py

should give you the output: 3

I have sorted the issue out now. The problem initially was when creating the file in the IDE using the Pycharm wizard and clicking on File instead of selecting Python File. Noticed this after directly checking the directory. Thank you all so much for the assistance and hope to provide more valuable input in future as I continue to learn and grow with Python :)

there was an error in below line of your code

print("The result is " + result)

the problem is that you can't concatenate string with int value

and also i am not able to understand you problem but below are some code that you may want from your problem statement.

def My1st():

    firstVar = 1

    secondVar = 2

    result = firstVar + secondVar

    print("The result is ", result)

if __name__ == "__main__" :

    My1st()

def My1st():

    firstVar = 1

    secondVar = 2

    result = firstVar + secondVar

    print("The result is ", result)



My1st()
