Python is designed to be readable. Start by printing a message, give information a name, then use a condition or a loop to guide what happens.
The print() function displays information. Put text in quotation marks and place it between the parentheses. This is a quick way to see what your program is doing.
print("Hello, world!")
print("I am learning Python.")print.A variable gives a value a name. Write the name, an equals sign, and the value. Then use the name again wherever that value is useful.
learner = "Sam"
lessons_finished = 1
print("Hello, " + learner)
print(lessons_finished)lessons_finished explains more than x. Python uses underscores between words by convention.A for loop runs once for each value it receives. range(1, 4) produces 1, 2, and 3. The indented line belongs to the loop, so it runs three times.
for step in range(1, 4):
print("Step", step)Conditions let your program choose a path. The indented block under if runs only when its condition is true.
minutes_left = 5
if minutes_left > 0:
print("There is time to try again.")
