Introduction

`Hello, World!` is a traditional first program when learning a new programming language. In this guide, we will show you how to create and run your first Python program to print `Hello, World!` on the screen.

Writing Your First Python Program

To write your first Python program, you can use a simple text editor. Here's the code for a `Hello, World!` program in Python:

print(`Hello, World!`)
        

This code uses the print function to display the text `Hello, World!` on the screen.

Running Your Python Program

To run your Python program, follow these steps:

1. Save your Python code to a file with a `.py` extension, for example, hello.py.
2. Open a terminal or command prompt.
3. Navigate to the directory where you saved your Python file using the cd command.
4. Run your program using the following command:
   

python hello.py
        

You should see `Hello, World!` printed on the screen.

Understanding the Code

In the code:

• print() is a built-in Python function used to display text on the screen.
• The text `Hello, World!` is enclosed in double quotes to specify it as a string.

Python is known for its simplicity, and this program demonstrates how easy it is to get started.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've just written and executed your first Python program. `Hello, World!` is a great starting point, and you can now explore Python's powerful features and libraries to create more complex applications.
