Hello World Program

Now that we have Python running, we can continue to write our first Python program.

Type the following code in any text editor or an IDE and save it as helloworld.py

Python scripts have the extension .py, meaning that the filename ends with .py.

For example : helloworld.py 

print ("Hello World")
Output :
Hello World
