title: I am new to python. I tried running a simple while loop but am receiving syntax error
body: <p>I tried running the below code but VS Code is showing syntax error. I checked on internet and notes but found the loop is fine.</p>
  <p>i = 1</p>
  <pre><code>    while i &lt;= 5:
  
          print(i)
  
          i = i + 1
  </code></pre>
