Your first program

Welcome

• Python follows your instructions, one line at a time.
• You write code here and run it — nothing to install.
• Read each step, then press Continue.

Show text with print

• print(...) shows text on the screen.
• Put the text in quotes: "...".
• Each print starts a new line.

print("Welcome to Python!")
print("This line runs next.")

Strings

• Text in quotes is called a string.
• You can use double quotes "..." or single quotes '...'.
• You can also print a number with no quotes, like print(42).

Comments

• A line that starts with # is a comment.
• Python ignores comments — they do not run.
• Use them to leave notes for people who read your code.

# This line is a note for people. Python skips it.
print("Comments do not show.")

Common mistakes

• print needs quotes around text: print("Hi"), not print(Hi).
• Python is case-sensitive: Print is not the same as print.
