Terminology is very important in programming.
You ask if you are "running" it correctly.
That means you asking us if you are executing
the program correctly. But you don't tell us
how you run it.

I'm going to assume for now you want to know
if you are writing the code correctly.
ie if the layout is  sensible.

The answer is yes, it all looks fine.
You should have gotten the correct answers
when you did run it.
