Hello and thank you for the help! However, I would like to ask one question. Would there be any trouble had I not clicked on “add Python…to path”? So far, it seems to function just fine, but I wonder if I might encounter problems as I work with a more complex code. If so, what would be the best approach to fix this? Do I need to reinstall the program? Thank you in advance!
