1. Setting Up Python
To start coding in Python, you need to install:

- Python (from python.org)

- A code editor like VS Code or PyCharm

To verify installation, type `python --version` or `python3 --version` in your terminal.

Here is a simple Python program that prints "Hello, World!":

```python

print("Hello, World!")
