print() function

print() displays output to the console

What it does: print() is the function that writes output to the console — usually the first thing anyone learns in Python, since it lets you see what a program is doing. Text (a "string") goes inside parentheses, wrapped in quotes: print('Hello World'). Single and double quotes both work, as long as they match on both ends. Calling print() with nothing prints a blank line.

Common mistakes: Python is case-sensitive, so Print('Hi') (capital P) raises an error — it must be lowercase. Forgetting the quotes around text, or mismatching single and double quotes, is another common slip.
