Basic Syntax Rules

• Case sensitive — you
• Explain the importance of proper indentation (will be more relevant in later sessions with loops and conditionals).
• Briefly touch upon the concept of errors and debugging.

print("Hello, World! 🙌")

How does it work?

1. You write code in the Python programming language using a text editor or IDE.
2. Python code is run through an interpreter and converted into C (language) code.
3. This C code then executed and is ultimately run as machine code on your computer’s hardware.
4. The result of running the code could be a variety of things. While we get started, we will typically print out messages to the Terminal, but as we get more advanced, we can control and output a host of different things using our Python programs. For example, we could build a game or website that has a graphical interface and display.
