[FIXED] The output when I run code in VSCode gets displayed in the terminal window instead of the output window

Issue

I tried some of the solutions posted earlier in similar questions but none of them seem to work for me. My code is in Python 3.8 and I am using the latest version of VSCode. Thanks.

Solution

When running python code in VS Code, it executes the running command in the VS Code internal terminal ( TERMINAL ) by default. It is a terminal that allows user interaction, but "OUTPUT" is an output terminal, which cannot receive user input.

For how to make the output display in "OUTPUT" in VS Code:

Please use the "Code Runner" extension in VS Code, which uses "OUTPUT" by default:

In addition, if you want to use relatively clean output, you could also use "DEBUG CONSOLE".

Please use in "launch.json": "console": "internalConsole", then click F5 to debug the code:
