# Executing the Program: # The primary purpose of the hello world program is to create a simple program # that demonstrates how to compile/execute a program in the given language. # To execute this one type "c:\python27\python helloworld.py" at the commandline. # There is no direct use of a 'main' function in Python. Code execution starts # at the beginning of the file and progresses through the end. # There are a number of ways to impose more structure on a Python program, but # the main idea of a "Hello World" is simplicity. print "Hello World"
