Lab print()

LAB

Estimated time

5-10 minutes

Level of difficulty

Very Easy

Objectives

• becoming familiar with the print() function and its formatting capabilities
• experimenting with Python code.

Scenario

The print() command, which is one of the easiest directives in Python, simply prints out a line to the screen. 

In your first lab:

• use the print() function to print the line Hello, Python! to the screen. use double quotes around the string
• having done that, use the print() function again, but this time print your First name;
• remove the double quotes and run your code. Watch Python's reaction. What kind of error is thrown? 
  • SyntaxError: invalid syntax
• then, remove the parentheses, put back the double quotes, - and run your code again. What kind of error is thrown this time? 
  • No Error, Hello, Q David Khieu
• experiment as much as you can. Change double quotes to single quotes, use multiple print() functions on different lines. See what happens.
