How to Write and Run Code at www.CodeHS.com
1. Point a browser to www.codehs.com and select the “sign up for free” option.
2. On the next screen, choose “free account” and enter your preferred login and password
information. You will not need a credit card.
3. Click the “sandbox” button in the upper left corner. The sandbox is a coding environment
where you can write, run, and save code.
4. Type a name for your program and hit the “create program” button. Next, pick
“Python 3” as your coding language and select the “create program” button.
5. You are now ready to write and run code. Maybe
type new code directly into the middle column.
Or paste code into that column, for example
if you are using starter code from one of the
book’s many CodeLinks. When you are ready, the
green “run” button tells CodeHS to try to execute
your program. The output, and any error
messages, will appear in the righthand column.
6. Before you code, I suggest sliding the column
dividers such that the first column is hidden. That
will give you more room to write code, and you can
always open the hidden column by clicking on the
icons at the far left.
7. Lastly, be sure to save your files often, just in case your computer crashes!
