Created page with "= Overview = It is a tradition that your first program simply print "Hello World" or in Python perhaps "Hello Universe" or "Hello Monty". In Python this is really easy: <pr..."

New page
= Overview =

It is a tradition that your first program simply print "Hello World" or in Python perhaps "Hello Universe" or "Hello Monty". In Python this is really easy:

<pre>
print "Hello World"
</pre>

So in this task you just want to get the above into a file and run it. Simple but how?

Open Spyder
Create a Project
Create a file, perhaps called hw.py
Run the file

Of course I have left out some details. Is there help out there on the web ( but like the Spyder install, this may be a good in person, in class activity )

= Update =

In Python 3 there has been a small update to print, it has been made a function. This just adds a pair of parenthesis to hello world. And it works fine in Python 2.7. So it is good to code this way, your code will be ready for the Python 3 upgrade.

<pre>
print( "Hello World" )
</pre>

It is also good to get acquainted with functions early in you programming life, they are meat and potatoes in the world of programming. More at '''[[Python Functions]]'''

'''[http://datasciencesource.com/python-with-spyder-1-first-steps/ Python with Spyder 1: First Steps – DataScienceSource.com ]''' Video => a very complete discussion. Includes discussion of conda which help you update Spyder ( and Anaconda ) which is nice, but probably not a bit deal, you could skip till later. This is a page early in another course on Python.
