# Command syntax

The first rule is, that any input must begin with the name of the command. Let's simply print a message to the console.\
Initially, we would type: `print`. Following this, we need to specify the message we wish to display. As the command anticipates a `string` argument, we could input: `print Hello`.

For a simple message, this would be sufficient. However, since arguments are separated by an empty space, the command would become invalid if we were to type: `print Hello World`.\
This is because we have technically supplied the print command with two distinct arguments when it only accepts one. In such instances, we simply enclose our argument in quotation marks: `print "Hello World"`.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

It is also possible to use `'` to enclose strings.
{% endhint %}
