Writing to the Screen
The first command you will need to learn for Python is the print command. This will do exactly as you would expect, it prints text to the screen:
print("anything as long as it is between the quotes")
Now to write helloworld to the screen we will need to use:
print("helloworld")
Remember Python is case sensitive so it is important to be precise with your coding
Try this and run your program.
Print Command Options
To display a string without going to a new line:
print ("Hello World" , end="")
To display the contents of a variable without going to a new line:
print (number1, end="")
To display a string and then move the output stream to a new line:
print ("Hello World")
To display the output of a variable and then move the output stream to a new line:
print (number1)
To move the output stream to a new line:
print ()
Now Try
- Create a square of 5x5, you can do this by writing 5 characters in one line and then copy this line 5 times.
- Create a triangle, it should be 5 lines high, the point should have a single character.
- Create a program to write out the chorus of your favourite song.
