I didn't call the functions in the program because I was calling them myself in the interpreter after running it.
I assume you mean after importing it? Running a program is generally taken to mean executing the script as a standalone program. To execute the internal functions one has to import the file as a module.
...know if that is the way everyone else programs,
Its a good way of developing code because you get instant feedback but its not a comprehensive or reliable way to test code, for that you are better creating a set of systematic tests checking upper and lower boundaries as well as midrange and out of range values plus various types of invalid inputs.
