There is nothing wrong with the code shown, how are you running the code within VSCode, that seems like it could be the problem.

The problem is Visual Studio, which nay not be set right for Pyrhon. (You may nweed the #!path to python version header)
It works fine in a regular script file.
For an IDE type interface, might wat to try Anaconda. Some folks recommend Eclipse. As a beginner also, I like to keep things simple, so use a text editor.

There are two distinct products Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code (VS Code).
VS Code is very well suited for Python and for beginners.
