Introduction
I'm ready to start programming! What should I do first?
A great first step is to create a "Hello, World!" program. It's a simple program that prints "Hello, World!" on the screen.
Sounds fun! Let's do it!
Alright! We'll write a "Hello, World!" program using Python.
Step 1: Opening a Text Editor
So, where should I write the program?
You can use any text editor, like Notepad or Visual Studio Code, to write your Python code.
Step 2: Writing the “Hello, World!” Program
I've opened my text editor. What should I type?
Type the following line of code to create your "Hello, World!" program:
print("Hello, World!")
Step 3: Saving the Program
I wrote the code! What should I do next?
Great job! Now save the file with a ".py" extension, like "hello_world.py". This tells the computer it's a Python program.
Step 4: Running the Program
I saved the file! How can I see my "Hello, World!" message?
Open a terminal, navigate to the folder where you saved the file, and type the following command to run the program:
python hello_world.py
Output:
Hello, World!
Wow! It worked! I just wrote my first program!
Congratulations! You're officially a programmer now! 😄
Conclusion
You’ve just created your first “Hello, World!” program in Python! This is a big step in your programming journey. Keep practicing and learning, and you’ll become a great programmer! 🚀
