Lesson 1: print() — Show text on screen

The very first step in any programming language is showing something. In Python we use the print() command to ask the computer to display text on the screen.

print() is a tiny robot that holds up a sign. Whatever you put inside its parentheses appears on the screen.

print(): The command that displays something on the screen.
statement: One line of code that performs a single action.
quotes: Marks that wrap text in Python so Python knows it's text to display, not the name of something else.
