About Lesson

  • 🎯 Learning Objectives:

    By the end of this lesson, learners will be able to:

    • Write and run a basic Python script

    • Understand how print() works

    • Learn Python’s indentation rules and syntax basics

    • Understand how code is executed in Python

    📚 Lesson Content

    🔹 Introduction to Python Syntax

    Python is known for its clean and readable syntax. You don’t need to add semicolons or curly braces to structure your code — indentation (tabs/spaces) is what defines code blocks.

    🧠 Simple Rule: One level of indentation = 4 spaces or 1 tab.

    🔸 Your First Python Program

    Let’s write the most basic Python program:

    python
    print("Hello, World!")

    📌 This line does the following:

    • print() is a built-in function used to display output.

    • "Hello, World!" is a string inside double quotes.

    • When you run this, Python will display:
      Hello, World!

    🔸 How to Run Your Python Program

    Option 1: Using a Code Editor (e.g., VS Code)

    1. Open your code editor

    2. Create a new file: first_program.py

    3. Type the code:

      python
      print("Hello, World!")

    4. Save the file and run it using:

      • Terminal: python first_program.py

      • OR use the Run button in the editor

    Option 2: Using Online Editors
    Try it online if Python is not yet installed:

    ⚠️ Understanding Python Indentation

    Try this code:

    python
    print("Line One")
    print("Line Two")

    This will give an IndentationError.

    Python relies on indentation to define the structure of code (like loops, functions, etc.). This strict indentation rule helps write cleaner, readable code.

    💡 More Practice:

    Write the following code to try printing multiple lines:

    python
    print("Welcome to Python!")
    print("Let’s start learning.")
    print("You’re doing great!")

    📝 Assignment

    • Create and run a file called first_program.py

    • Print three different statements using the print() function

    • Try adding incorrect indentation and observe the error
