Hello, World!

Write your very first Python program and understand how it works

Every programmer's first program is "Hello, World!", it's a tradition. More importantly, it teaches you the most fundamental thing in programming: telling the computer to display something.

Your first Python programpython

print("Hello, World!")

print() is a function, a built-in command that tells Python to display something on the screen. Whatever you put inside the parentheses (in quotes) gets printed.

You can print anythingpython

print("I am learning Python!")
print("This is line 2")
print(42)
print(3.14)

Text vs numbers: Text (called *strings*) goes in quotes: "hello". Numbers go without quotes: 42. If you put a number in quotes, Python treats it as text, not a number.

Run the code in the terminal on the right to see it execute. Try changing the message and running again!
