name = "CodeFriends" # Assign "CodeFriends" to the variable name

print(name) # Print the value of the variable name

print("")
# Print the result of the addition 1 + 2 using the print function

# How to Code and View Results in Real-Time

CodeFriends offers a practice environment where you can learn Python and view code execution results in real-time without the need to install a complex development environment. All you need is your browser.

How do you print what you want on the screen?

Just like the word "print," you use `print()` and place the desired content inside the parentheses.

To check the results of your Python code in real-time in the practice screen, you must wrap what you want to check with the **print function**.

> Note: In a program, a `function` is a block of code designed to perform a particular task.

<br />

```python title="Example of print function"
name = "CodeFriends" # Assign "CodeFriends" to the variable name

print(name) # Print the value of the variable name
```

<br />

A `variable` is a storage location in a program that holds a value, and the `print()` function outputs the value inside the parentheses.

We will cover variables and functions in more detail in future lessons.

<br />

## Coding Practice

Enter the code `print(1 + 2)` in the practice code editor.

For code readability, make sure to include a space on either side of the addition sign (+).

```python title="Output of a Python Addition Operation"
print(1 + 2)
```
