This is interesting, I&#x27;d never be able to write something like:<p><i>print is the name of a Python command, which sends messages to output. The parentheses () after the print command are used to contain what you want to print.</i><p>I really dislike the idea that programming languages have &quot;commands&quot;, so I would have called it a function since that&#x27;s the actual term used. And that of course would lead to explaining the parentheses as part of <i>calling</i> a function, by enclosing the parameters.<p>I admit I didn&#x27;t read far in this tutorial, so perhaps more correct&#x2F;typical terminology is introduced later.
