This might be a dumb question, but I type this code in, named the file python.masterticket.py just like the video, typed it into the console, and it says command not recognized?
Code -
TICKET_PRICE = 10
tickets_remaining = 100
Output how many tickets are remaining using the tickets_remaining variable
print("There are {} tickets remaining.format(tickets_remaining))
Gather the user's name and assign it to new variable
name = input("What is your name? ")
Prompt the user by name and ask how many tickets they would like.
num_tickets = input("How many tickets would you like {}? ".format(name)) num_tickets = int(num_tickets)
Calculate the price of the tickets (Number of tickets x price per ticket) and shown the cost
amount_due = num_tickets * TICKET_PRICE
Output the cost on screen.
print("The total cost is {}".format(amount_due))
Console -
treehouse:~/workspace$ python.masterticket.py
Press "Enter/Return And this returns: **
bash: python.masterticket.py: command not found
treehouse:~/workspace$

# no dot between python and masterticket
python masterticket.py
instead of
python.masterticket.py
