The "Hello, world" program in Python is about as simple as it can get:
>>> print "Hello, world!"
Hello, world!
In Java, much more overhead is needed:
class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
}

- 10. Python in Schools Python and Math is an approach to apply programming skills to solving math problems. Here are the main objectives: Introduce programmers to solving math problems using programming. Practice problem-solving skills using programming. Introduce new skills and techniques that increase the efficiency of programs.
- 11. Unlock the Power of Computer with Python There are two main advantages that programming a computer has over doing the calculation yourself: Speed: computers can do more calculations in a second than most will do in their lifetime. Repetition: computers do the same thing over and over and never complain.

- 13. Randomness and Case Statements >>> import random >>> flipResult = 0 >>> heads = 0 >>> tails = 0 >>> for flips in range(1,101): flipResult = random.randint(1,2) if (flipResult == 1): print ("Heads") #Students like seeing the flip results. heads = heads + 1 if(flipResult == 2): print ("Tails") tails = tails + 1 >>> print ("heads= %i" % heads) >>> print ("tails= %i" % tails) >>> print(heads/tails)
