Getting Started

Getting Started in Python

Let’s write your first Python program: Hello, World!

Step 1: Open a Text Editor or IDE

You can use any text editor (like Notepad, VS Code, or Sublime Text) or an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like
PyCharm or Jupyter Notebook.

Step 2: Write the Code

Create a new file and type the following code:

print("Hello, World!")

Step 3: Run the Program

• Save the file with a .py extension (e.g., hello.py).
• Open your terminal or command prompt, navigate to the folder where the file is saved, and run:

python hello.py

• You should see the output:

Hello, World!

🎉 Congratulations! You’ve just written and executed your first Python program.
