# Simple Python “Hello, World!” Script

The canonical first program in Python consists of a single statement that prints a string to the console.

```python
print("Hello, World!")
```

## How to Create and Run the Script

1. **Create a file**  
   Open any text editor or IDE and save the line above in a file named `hello.py`.

2. **Run the script**  
   - **On Windows:**  
     ```bash
     python hello.py
     ```  
   - **On macOS/Linux:**  
     ```bash
     python3 hello.py
     ```

   The output will be:

   ```
   Hello, World!
   ```

## Why This Works

- `print()` is a built‑in function that writes its argument to standard output.  
- The string `"Hello, World!"` is enclosed in quotes, making it a *string literal*.

## Optional Enhancements

### Shebang for Executable Scripts (Unix‑like systems)

If you prefer to run the script directly without invoking `python` explicitly, add a shebang line at the top and make the file executable:

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
print("Hello, World!")
```

```bash
chmod +x hello.py   # make executable
./hello.py           # run directly
```

### Using Single Quotes

Python accepts either double or single quotes for strings:

```python
print('Hello, World!')
```

Both versions behave identically.
