1

Create a message about Python

Create a variable called message and set it to the text 'Python is a simple and powerful programming language.'

Python

# Create the variable message with the given text
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use the equals sign = to assign the text to the variable message.

2

Use the print() function to display the content of the variable message on the screen.

Python

message = 'Python is a simple and powerful programming language.'
# Print the message variable
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Write print(message) to show the message on the screen.

3

Run the program

Run the program to see the message about Python printed on the screen.

Python

message = 'Python is a simple and powerful programming language.'
print(message)
# Run the program to see the output
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Click the run button or run the script to see the message appear.

4

Understand the output

Look at the output and understand that Python helps us tell the computer what to do using simple words.

Python

message = 'Python is a simple and powerful programming language.'
print(message)
# Observe the output above
# Your code here
