I am just starting to learn Python, and I like to use the editor

# calculating the mean
data1=[49, 66, 24, 98, 37, 64, 98, 27, 56, 93, 68, 78, 22, 25, 11]
def mean(data):
return sum(data)/len(data)
mean(data1)
There is no syntax highlighting and when I ran it F5, I got the
following in the shell window.
>>> ================================ RESTART

Any ideas?
I don't know what editor you're using or how it works, but I'm guessing
that pressing f5 runs what you've written as a script, right? In that
case the interpreter doesn't automatically print the result of
expressions in the same way that the interactive interpreter does; you
didn't tell it to print anything, so it didn't.
It looks like it's IDLE.
Actually, he does say that it's IDLE at the start.
