When you ask for help on a public forum, it's usually best to start by
reading the tutorials yourself.

boB is absolutely correct here: you need to learn the basics before
further questions will be truly productive. We are not here to read
aloud from the tutorial to you. Once you have a basic understanding of
Python's structure, you will be far better able to ask questions and
understand the answers.
