A Taste of What You'll Learn Part 1

Start Quiz:

# Read through the code below. Even if you don't understand it, try to make 
# a guess about what it does. What do you think will happen when you press 
# "Test Run"? Once you have a prediction, press "Test Run" and compare what 
# happens to what you predicted.

def say_hello():
    return "Hello!"

print say_hello()

# say_hello is a function. Or, as Dave would call it, a procedure.
# This procedure isn't particularly interesting because it only does
# one thing. 

# Continue to the next example to see a more interesting version of say_hello.
