Here we will learn the basic print() command and we will print different texts in the Python window.

print("Hello Everyone")

On on the first day we will get comfortable with our laptop and learn how to start Python and use it by simply printing some text. This will help you get used to this new way of working with computers, that is programming in computers.

I will highly recommend that with the guidance of your seniors, practice it for some time until you get comfortable. Then follow the exercises below to have fun with Python interpreter.
