Our First Python Program
• Python does not have a main method like Java
 The program's main code is just written directly in the file
• Python statements do not end with semicolons

hello.py
1 print("Hello, world!")

4
The print Statement
print("text")
print() (a blank line)
 Escape sequences such as \" are the same as in Java
 Strings can also start/end with '

swallows.py
1 print("Hello, world!")
2 print()
3 print("Suppose two swallows \"carry\" it together.")
4 print('African or "European" swallows?')

5
Comments
• Syntax:
# comment text (one line)

swallows2.py

3 print("Hello, world!")
