Abstract

Creating a “Hello World” project is a classic and essential first step for anyone learning a new programming language. In this guide, we’ll walk through the process of building a simple “Hello World” project using Python. This project serves as a foundation for understanding basic syntax, setting up a development environment, and executing a Python script.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or above
• Text Editor or IDE (Visual Studio Code, PyCharm, etc.)
