Please write print(2+2) We use print(), it's called print function,it shows result/output in Python.

Be mindful of whether you are writing your code in an interpreter vs. running a script. When you type 2+2 into the python interpreter and hit enter, the interpreter will evaluate the expression and the result (4) will be the output. But when you are writing a script, like we are in the code playground, you need to explicitly tell the computer to display the result on the screen. Use the print() function to do this, i.e. print(2+2). If this doesn't address your problem please feel free to let us know an example of what you're trying to do and we'll try and help. :)
