My First Markdown Document#

This is my introduction to markdown formatting. I’m learning how to use various formatting options so that I can style my reports.

Skills I’m practicing:

Making text bold and italic
Creating ordered and unordered lists
Adding code snippets
Creating headers and subheaders

Important programming concepts:

Variables store data values
Functions are reusable blocks of code
print() is a built-in Python function
Comments help explain code to others

Here’s a simple Python example:

# This is a comment
name = "MUDE Student"
age = 20
print(f"Hello, my name is {name} and I am {age} years old.")
