In many cases we will use a feature of program execution in Idle: that after program execution is completed, the Idle
Shell still remembers functions defined in the program. This is not true if you run a program by selecting it directly in
the operating system.
Look at the example program birthday3.py. See it just adds two more lines, not indented. Can you guess what it
does? Try it:
1 ’’’Function definition and invocation.’’’
2
3 def happyBirthdayEmily():
4 print("Happy Birthday to you!"
5 print("Happy Birthday to you!"
6 print("Happy Birthday, dear Emily."
7 print("Happy Birthday to you!"

Use PyCharm for learning and not that default shell

I don't really understand the problem. That program ran perfectly.

When you write scripts on shell, it is not auto indented but u can indent it by using the tab key....shell not remembering the function declared, I doubt that.....i use the shell a lot on Kali Linux for testing some code before rewriting it in my editor...

As someone said earlier, use an editor rather than shell if u are a newbie.....Python is cool
To add, you don't get the real power of python in windows, go dirty like a friend said to me,that is use Linux...python comes preinstalled with it and some other libraries. Real programmers don't use windows, switch your style up bro.....see u @ d top
