Where's my "programming environment?"

Hi. Just finished the “Modules in Python” lesson and next up is the YouTube tutorial. I’m wanting to follow along with Mike as he teaches the Python Walkthrough Using Datetimes in Pyton3. But how embarrassing that I don’t even know where to find my “programming environment” or what it is. Up until now I’ve been happily chugging along and putting my code in the Output box on the right column of each Codecademy lesson page… I tried borrowing the Output box from the page right before Mike’s YouTube tutorial page but it doesn’t work with this tutorial.

I’m learning on a MacBook Air. Someone please help?

if you scroll up a bit in this topic, Visual Studio Code is mentioned as is PyCharm.

You can also look into Jupyter Notebook–which I think is taught in your course, or Google Colab. Or, search here in the forums for other IDE suggestions.
