Line 1
Line 2
You can think of Python like giving instructions to a smart robot.

1. Write your own message
Use print() to show your name.
Example:
print("My name is ____")
2. Print two messages
Print your name on the first line and your age on the second line.
, 3. Create your first mini-project
Write a Python program that prints:
Welcome to Python!
Let's start learning.
📘 Chapter 2: Python Variables & Data
Types
Python uses variables to store information.
A variable is like a labeled box where you keep data.
1. What Is a Variable?
A variable is a name you give to a value.
Example:
name = "Sarah"
age = 20
country = "Cameroon"
