# How to Use CodeFriends Python Practice Environment

The Python practice environment allows you to view **step-by-step guidelines**, **write code**, and **check the execution results of your code** all on a single screen.

By using the CodeFriends code editor, you can check the execution results of Python code in `real time` via a web browser, without the need for complex Python installations.

Each section's `height` and `width` can be adjusted with your mouse. Position your mouse at the border of a section and drag up/down or left/right to adjust the section's size.

 
 

## 1. Step-by-step Guidelines

On the **left side of the screen**, you will see step-by-step guidelines organized by lesson topic.

The material you're currently reading is the guideline for the `Chapter 1` of the `Orientation` lecture, `How to Use CodeFriends Python Practice Environment`.

 

## 2. Writing Code

In the `Write Code` section in the **middle of the screen**, you can write Python code based on the guidelines.

You can either copy and paste the code provided in the guideline into the writing area or type it out yourself.

Click the `Copy` button at the top right of the Python code below and paste the copied content into the code writing section.🧑🏻‍💻

 

```python title="Paste in the Write Code (middle) section"
print("Hello, World!")
```

 

## 3. Viewing Results in Real-time

On the **right side of the screen**, you can check the execution results of your Python code in real time.

To ensure the values appear, you must wrap the content you want to display in the `print()` function's parentheses.

- *Note*: In programming, a `function` is a block of code designed to perform a particular task. The print() function outputs the content within the parentheses to the screen (console).

```python title="Using the print function"
content = "Hello" # Not displayed on the screen

# Only the content within the print function's parentheses is displayed
print("Hi") # Outputs Hi
```

Complete the **mission** below and click the `Complete` button to proceed to the next lesson! 🚀

### Using the print function

Write a Python code to print `codefriends` on the screen.

**Hint**: Enter the text you want to print inside the parentheses of the print( ) function.
