Python Syntax
a. Now we can get into the Python language. The start of any language is syntax.
Similar to spelling and punctuation in English, Python has some structure and
spelling that needs to be followed. We take a look at a basic print statement and
what happens when the statement is incorrectly written. The compiler (the thing
that checks if the code is written correctly) lets you know if there is a syntax
error. A very useful thing to know is how to make a comment. A comment is a
line of code that is not executed when a program is run. This is very useful for
labeling your work and giving definitions to things so other people can
understand your code. Comments in Python can be made using the number or
hash sign ( # ).
