python -c

The command python -c allows you to execute a Python code snippet directly from the command line. Specifically:

  • python invokes the Python interpreter.
  • -c stands for "command" and lets you specify a Python command or script as a string on the same line.

For example, running the following in a terminal:

python -c "print('Hello, World!')"

will output:

Hello, World!

This is useful for running small Python scripts or one-liners without needing to save them in a .py file.
