exiting the python shell can be done using several methods. in this tutorial, we will cover three common ways to exit the python shell: using the exit() function, pressing ctrl + d (on unix-based systems), and using the sys.exit() function.
the exit() function is a built-in function in python that raises the systemexit exception to exit the program. when called without arguments, it exits the python interpreter.
simply type exit() in the python shell and press enter.
on unix-based systems (such as linux and macos), you can exit the python shell by pressing ctrl + d. this key combination signals the end-of-file (eof) to the python interpreter, causing it to exit.
the sys.exit() function is part of the sys module and can be used to exit the python interpreter. this method allows you to customize the exit status.
the exit() function and ctrl + d usually exit the python shell without raising an exception, while sys.exit() raises a systemexit exception.
you can provide an exit status code as an argument to sys.exit() to indicate the reason for the exit. for example:
now you know three different methods to gracefully exit the python shell. choose the one that suits your needs, and happy coding!
