First script - hello world

print("Hello World")

• Create a file called hello.py with the above content.
• Open your terminal or the Anaconda Prompt on MS Windows in the directory (folder)
• Change to the directory where you saved the file.
• Run it by typing python hello.py or python3 hello.py
• The extension is .py - mostly for the editor (but also for modules).
• Parentheses after print() are required in Python 3, but use them even if you are stuck on Python 2.
