🎯 What you will learn
- Use print() to show messages
- Put text in quotes
- Run code and read the output
👋 Let’s get started!
Python is a coding language used by game makers, scientists and robots 🤖. The first spell every coder learns is print(). Let’s cast it!
🪜 Step by step
1. 🖨️ print shows things
Whatever is inside print( ) shows up in the output.
print("Hello, world!")2. 💬 Text needs quotes
Text (called a string) goes inside quotes. Numbers don’t need quotes.
print("I am 8 years old")
print(8)3. 📜 Many lines
Python runs lines from top to bottom, one after another.
print("Ready...")
print("Set...")
print("GO! 🚀")🧪 Try it!
Change the code and press ▶ Run to see what happens. You can’t break anything!
