hello world

Every programming subject that I have been with always start with printing the string "Hello World". Except maybe for low level programming languages such as assembly, the feat does not require a background in computer science. With all the high level programming languages in our disposal, there can be hundreds of way on how to display this text on the screen. Some languages may need a couple of lines, others may need only one. Others may require referencing some libraries or file and others simply don't need anything. In the middle of these complex discussions on how to print a simple text, let me introduce you to the simplicity of  Python.

1:  print ("hello world!")  

That's simplicity for you. One line code using one word clear command to print that famous text. That is Python.
