📖 Concept Explanation

The print() Function

The print() function is one of Python’s built-in functions that displays output to the console/terminal. It’s used to:

• Show messages to users

• Display results of calculations

• Debug your code

• Output any information you want to see

Syntax

print("Your message here")

Key Points

• Text (strings) must be enclosed in quotes (single ' or double ")

• Each print() statement creates a new line by default

• You can print numbers, text, and other data types

💡 Examples

Basic Print

print("Hello, World!")

Multiple Lines

print("Line 1")
print("Line 2")
print("Line 3")

📝 Comments

Comments are lines that Python ignores. They help explain your code:

# This is a comment
print("This is code")  # This is also a comment
