3. Select Your Options
   A new window will open. Check the boxes for “Python” and “VSCodium” (or any code editor you prefer).
4. Apply Changes

   How to Set Up VSCodium for Python Programming

If you followed the above instructions, then you can open VS Cdoium, create a new file “test.py”, save it and then enter this code:

a = 100
b = 100
c = 200

if a + b == c:
    print(f"{a} plus {b} is equal to {c}")

This code will print “100 plus 100 is equal to 200” if run in your newly set up Python environment. Happy coding!
