Recap

Recap:

In this lesson, we learned to display a single line of text using Python’s print() function.

Let’s review what we have learned so far:

Code is a collection of one or more instructions.

Coding is the activity of putting together step-by-step instructions to solve a problem.

A Bit is the smallest unit of storage in computer memory that holds either a 1 or 0.

A Processor (or a CPU) is the brain of the computer. It executes all the instructions embedded in our applications.

Python Interpreter translates Python instructions (high level) to 1s and 0s (low level).

As a Python coder, we are communicating with the Python Interpreter. We need to learn its grammar and know how it works to communicate efficiently.

A function is a set of instructions that perform a specific task, e.g., print.

Several functions come bundled with Python. Since these functions are built right into the Python language, we call them built-in functions.

Input is a piece of data that is passed to a function.

In Python, a String is a word or group of words that begin and end with a quote, e.g., 'hello'.

print function displays the given input on the screen.
