It’ll allow you to easily manage projects with multiple files and modules. You’ll want to use a code editor for your Python projects as your projects grow in scope. If you haven’t, please do so now as we’ll be using VS Code to edit our Python for the rest of the course.
You should have installed the editor and the Python extension as part of the pre-requisites for the course. There are useful extensions for every programming languages you can think of, but the choice of which ones to install and how to configure your editor is up to you.
