REPL is started by running python or python3. To exit out of the REPL, run CTRL-D.

To run a program thru the python interpreter run

python3 hello.py

Assign variables just by naming them in snake-case like this

first_name = "Frank"
print(first_name, "is learning Python!")

Ask input from the user by using

first_name = input("What is your first name? ")
print(first_name, "is learning Python!")

  print(result)

Python uses try except instead of try catch. To raise an excemption use raise
