Python Programming for Complete Beginners: A Structured Course

Lesson 1.a: Execute Python Syntax

As we learned in the previous page, Python syntax can be executed by writing directly in the Command Line:

>> print(“Hello, World!”)
Hello, World!

Python Indentation

Indentation refers to the spaces at the beginning of a code line.

The indentation in Python is very important.

Good Code:

if 5 > 3:
  print(“Five is greater than three!”)

Syntax Error:

if 5 > 3:
print(“Five is greater than three!”)
 

Syntax Error:

if 5 > 3:
 print(“Five is greater than three!”)
        print(“Five is greater than three!”)

Comments in Python:

#This is a comment.
print(“Hello, World!”)
