This beginner course covers essential Python programming concepts, laying the groundwork for more specialized courses on domain-specific Python libraries.

Python is an important programming language used in data science, machine learning, web scraping, and web application development, making it essential for modern developers.
This course starts with teaching fundamental programming concepts in Python 3, including conditional execution, repetition, and functions, before moving on to advanced topics like data structures and object-oriented programming. Quizzes and hands-on coding challenges along the way help reinforce what you have learned.

By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in Python programming, enabling you to write clean and efficient code and tackle more advanced topics and projects with confidence.

What would be the value of `my_string` at the end of the program?

```python
my_string = "Hello"


def exclamation(my_string):
    my_string = "!!" + my_string + "!!"
    return my_string


exclamation(my_string)
print(my_string)

```

What would be the value of <code>my_string</code> at the end of the program?
