🎯 Goal of This Lesson
You’re learning how to instruct a computer to do something — in this case, a simple math operation:
Add 5 and 3
To do that, you’re learning to use a programming language called Python.
🧠 Key Concept: Programming Language
Just like humans speak English or Spanish to communicate, we use Python to talk to computers.
We give it commands (instructions), and the computer does what we say.
✅ Your First Instruction: print(5 + 3)
Let’s break it down:
print(5 + 3)
print(...)→ This tells the computer to show something on the screen.5 +3 → This tells the computer to add 23 and 7.- So
print(5 + 3)means:
“Add 23 and 7, and show the result.”
When you run that line, the computer will display:
8
🧪 Try It Yourself
Open your Python environment (Jupyter, code editor, or online platform) and type:
print(5 + 3)
Then click Run Code.
💡 What You Just Did
- You wrote your first line of Python code
- You gave the computer an instruction
- The computer followed your command and gave you the result
