This is our first python instruction

  print("hello world")

print is the name of a function. When we write the name of a function along with rounded brackets, we are instructing the computer to execute the function. This is also known as 'calling' the function.

In this case, the function called print takes the words "hello world" and prints it out to the screen.

The instruction has to be typed perfectly. If we misspell a single letter, it won't work.

In the beginning when you are learning to code, making a spelling mistake is the most common problem, so if your code doesn't work, check that first.

While we are learning to code, we can use print to communicate the results of running the code. If you add two numbers, we would print the result to see it.
