Hello, world

Let's start by learning every programmer's first introduction to a programming language, how to print Hello, world to the output.


      print("Hello, world")
      

In the line of code above, we call the function print() and pass in the string "Hello, world". The output is:


      Hello, world
      

What is print()?

print() is a built-in Python function that displays an output to the screen.

What is a string?

Don't worry about this for now! We will cover data types in Python later on. For now, just remember that "Hello, world" is a string in Python.
