The Very First Steps in Python

Programming is the process of giving instructions to a computer to perform tasks, and Python is a popular language known for its simplicity and versatility. Let’s explore what makes Python unique.

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language. High-level languages use abstract syntax that is easy for humans to understand but cannot be directly interpreted by machines.

Let's dive in and print your first message using Python. Use the print() function for this. When you want to print specific text, just wrap it in quotation marks, like "..." or '...'. If you don't, Python will assume you're referring to a variable.
