2.1.1.7 LAB: The print() function

LAB 

Estimated time

5 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?
• then, remove the parentheses, put back the double quotes, and run your code again. What kind of error is thrown this time?
• experiment as much as you can. Change double quotes to single quotes, use multiple print() functions on the same line, and then on different lines. See what happens.
