EXERCISE: Print to console
First let’s learn how to use the IDE (on the right in exercise below) being used throughout the course. Go to course manual for more info on IDEs. If you are still unsure of how to use the IDE used in this course click here to go back to the video on how to use the TechWays interface.
Let’s write a simple print ( ) statement.
Alongside is our IDE, with an example of a print statement. Click RUN 
to see what happens.
You just printed your first word. Follow the steps below to write a new statement:
- Add a new print (” “) on the next line and put your name between the quotes.
- Click the RUN to see your results.
Commenting is a way of adding notes to code so others can understand what the code is about. To write a comment put a ‘#’ sign before your line. Follow the steps below to try it out:
- On line 2, remove the ‘#’ sign.
- Click the RUN
Did you see your name as the result? The ‘#’ sign converts a line into a comment.
