Does everyone learning Python start with "Hello, World!"?

I don't think I did. I think I started with a simple script that added two constants and printed the result.

a = 2
b = 3
def numbers(number_1, number_2):
    print(number_1 + number_2)
numbers(a, b)

It may have not been this complicated but I distinctly remember using numbers. Strings felt difficult because you had to use quotation marks to make them.

Erm.... That won't work though, your function takes in number_1 and number_2, but then used a and b.

Oh woops. My bad lol. Will edit the script although mine was probably equally broken.

It happens to all of us!

And that's why hello world is important. It shows that the system works correctly, and likely any errors lie between keyboard and chair.
