In this chapter, you will get your first experience writing actual code. Our hope is that you will see how easy it can be, but if it presents challenges, don't be discouraged.

### The Print Statement

 In Python, the command **print** tells the program to display words or numbers on the screen. Here is a line of code that tells Python to display the words 'Hello, kitties!'
```
print("Hello, kitties!")
```

 > *<span style='color:green'>print</span>* is a *keyword* -- that is, a word, that has special meaning for Python. It means, *'Display what is inside the parentheses'*.

 > *<span style='color:green'>print</span>* is not capitalized. If you capitalize it, the program *will not run*.
