bookWriting Lines of Code

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!'

<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.

Well, let's practice a little?

Task

You should type in the console the chocolate you like. Well, for example "I like dark chocolate" or maybe "I like milk chocolate". Try yourself.
