Basic Python Concepts
- Print Function: Used to display output on the screen.
- Strings: Sequences of characters that represent text.
- Quotation Marks: Single or double quotes are used to define strings in Python.
- Comments: Lines of code that start with a '#' symbol are ignored by the computer, allowing you to add notes or explanations to your code.
- Multiline Strings: Use three quotation marks at the beginning and end of a string to create a multiline string.
- Concatenation: Combining strings together using the '+' operator.
- Newline Indicator Character: '\n' is used to create a new line within a string.
Example Code: "Hello, World!"
