Assignment
Introduction to Python Concepts
For this assignment, you will download and install Python and get hands-on experience with Python's default editor IDLE (Integrated Development and Learning Environment) by creating three variations of the classic "Hello World" program. Review the Real Python article "Which Python IDE is right for you?" if you choose to use an alternative IDE.

Writing Python Program Instructions:
1. Using Python's Integrated Development and Learning Environment (IDLE) create the following three variations of the classic "Hello World" program.

a. For your first Python program, write hello_world.py that simply prints "Hello, world!"

b. For your second Python program, write hello_world2.py to make use of variables.

c. For your third Python program, write a program that accepts the user's first and last name as input (e.g., you may use your name or fictitious name). The program should output a sentence containing the following welcome message. "Hello [firstname][lastname], welcome to IT4079!"

2. Test your applications and document testing by taking screenshots.

3. Explain the approach taken to complete this assignment and the major decisions made.

4. Use the Weekly Solutions Submission Template in the Resources area. Your writing should be generally free from spelling, grammatical, or other mechanical errors.
