Python for Beginners: Giving Instructions to the Computer

👨‍💻 Python for Beginners: Giving Instructions to the Computer

When you write a Python program, you're simply telling the computer what to do — step by step 🪜. Python reads each line from top to bottom 📖 and does exactly what you say.

Let’s look at some simple examples:

🖨️ 1. Printing a Message

print("Hello, World!")

🧾 What it does: It tells Python to show this text on the screen.
💡 Output:

Hello, World!

🔢 2. Doing Math

print(5 + 3)

➕ This adds 5 and 3 and prints the result.
💡Output:

8

You can also subtract (−), multiply (×), and divide (÷):

print(10 - 2)   #  Subtractionprint(4 * 2)    #  Multiplicationprint(16 / 4)   #  Division

📦 3. Storing Information in Variables

name = "Aisha"print("Hello, " + name)

📌 You stored a name in a variable. Then you used it to print a custom message.
💡 Output:

Hello, Aisha

✅ 4. Making Decisions (If Statements)

age = 18if age >= 18:    print("You are an adult!")

🤔 The computer checks if the person is 18 or older.
💡 Output:

You are an adult!

🔁 5. Repeating Things (Loops)

for i in range(5):    print("Hi!")

🔁 This prints "Hi!" five times.
💡 Output:

Hi!Hi!Hi!Hi!Hi!

🎉 That’s it!

Python is easy to read and write. With a few lines, you can already:

• 📤 Display messages

• 🧮 Do math

• 🧊 Store data

• 🧠 Make decisions

• 🔁 Repeat tasks

Keep practicing, and soon you’ll be writing your own cool programs! 🐍🚀
