The most basic skill to learn when coding is how to output a message to the screen.

We must use a function to do this. In python the keyword for this function is print(). Python will take whatever is between the parenthesis and output it to the screen.

<aside> 💡 3 key rules you need to know to begin with:

1. print is always written in lowercase. In fact, all python keyword commands are.
2. There must always be parenthesis and whatever is to be outputted must be placed within the ( ).
3. Text that is outputted must be placed within quotes " "

Practice

<aside> 💡 Don’t think about skipping this part. This is tedious but you need to practice to get good and build muscle memory. Do each exercise below, typing each one out diligently 😊
