Your first few lines.

Start with a hello

Declare a variable with var and use print to send a value to the console. Copy this example into the editor and select Run.

var message = "Hello, Kindly!"
print(message)

Change an existing value with assignment, such as message = "Hello again!". Declaring the same name twice in one scope is an error.

Take it one step at a time

Use while to repeat work, and if, elif, and else to choose what happens next. Indentation groups statements into a block.

var count = 0

while count < 3:
	print(count)
	count = count + 1

Put a name to it

Define a function with def and return a value with return. Parameters can have default values.

def greet(name = "world"):
	return "Hello, " + name + "!"

print(greet())
print(greet("friend"))
