First Python project: Absolute Beginner

Today in class I started to get into the spheres of the programming language called “Phython”. Compared to other programming language such as Java or C++, Python is known to be  more of a general-purpose tool and thus perfect for total beginners like I am.

By the way: for any of you interested in widening their musical spectrum and those of you who would like to see more of my hometown, make sure to check out the following HipHop song by one of my favorite Germany rap groups (Their name really translates exactly to: Absolute Beginners – Exactly the way I feel right now)

 

Now, let’s get into Python and the first things I learned while using the IDLE software!
I decided to start off with the first major topic on the list which is the ‘Use of comments’. . I started out with programming a single line comment for this blogpost.

The way how to use a single line comment works the following:
You open the IDLE software and type  print(“Hello World“). Here you can see my first output:

I also tried to figure out how a multiple line comment works but in the end I wasn’t able to do this within my Python 3.5.2. IDLE window. I will ask our tutor Ken next time if he could help me with this.

I hope you liked my first little tutorial and feel free to shoot me some messages via Twitter (@tecjames) or comment on this post if you have any questions!
