Intro to Python

Discover what Python is, how it's used, and write your first lines of code

Welcome to Python!

Python is one of the most popular programming languages in the world — and it's perfect for beginners because it reads almost like plain English!

What Can Python Do?

  • Games – like Minecraft's modding tools
  • Websites – Instagram and Pinterest run on Python!
  • Artificial Intelligence – teaching computers to think
  • Automation – making boring tasks happen automatically

Your First Program

Python
print("Hello, World!")

Comments

Python
# This is a comment — Python skips it
print("But this runs!")  # end-of-line comment

Basic Syntax Rules

  1. Python is case-sensitive: Print ≠ print
  2. Indentation (spaces) matters
  3. No semicolons needed at line ends!
