Introducing Bash and Python

Hello World!

In this section, we will run Bash and Python hello world examples.

Bash

#!/bin/bash
# This is a bash comment 
echo "Hello Bash World!"

Python

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# This is a python comment
print("Hello Python World!")

Use your favourite text editor to create these two files hello_world.sh and hello_world.py. Make sure you provide them with execute permissions

chmod 777 hello_world.sh

And

chmod 777 hello_world.py

You can execute them with

./hello_world.sh

And

./hello_world.py

The contents of the code should be prety straightforward. The only link that may need explaining is the shebang first line. The shebang line allows the script to executed like a standalone executable without typing python, ruby, et cetera. It also immediately tells someone looking at the code, what language has been used and in the case of python it can specify the version of python that is used to execute it.

Modify the Code 1

Examine the following two code snippets written in Bash and Python.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
for x in range(5):
    print(x)
