I have a problem when i try to use chr python 3

Question

I'm using vs code, and when i try to run this: print(str(chr(257))) I get this error:ValueError: chr() arg not in range(256)

Are you sure it's python3 and not python2 ? – Rahul Bharadwaj Dec 15 '19 at 17:19 — Rahul Bharadwaj, Dec 15 '19 at 17:19

You seem to be using a Python 2 interpreter to run Python 3 code. As noted in the docs for that function in Python 2.7:

The argument must be in the range [0..255], inclusive; ValueError will be raised if i is outside that range

Switch the interpreter you're using in VS Code to a Python 3 interpreter.
