Exercise 1 of Learn Python the Hard Way complete!

Tools used: Terminal and gedit text editor (to create python file)

What I learned:

• Python files end in .py
• To run a python script, type: “python” “[file name]”
  
• In python, there are data types called “strings”
• One of which can be a “print string”
• To create a print string, you must type “print” before the characters that follow
• This line must be enclosed with quotes, either “” or ” (haven’t figured out the differences between the two yet, if any)
• To make your script only print one line of the python file, type “#” before “print” on the lines you want the Terminal to pass over
• This “#” symbol is also called an octothorpe
