02. Hello World (+10 XP)

# Print

In Python, the print() function is used to tell a computer to talk. This is something we are going to use a lot.

The message we want to be display should be inside the parenthesis and surrounded by quotes. The quotes can be double quotes or single quotes, but they have to be the same quotes.

This is an example of a print() function:

          
          print("👋 Howdy")
          
        

In the above example, we instructed our program to print a text message. The printed words that appear as a result of the print() function are referred to as output.

The output of this example program would be:

          
          👋 Howdy
