Welcome to the tutorial on creating your first module! Modules are essential for organizing code and reusing functionality. Let's walk through the steps to get started.

Steps to Create a Module

  1. Install Dependencies
    Make sure you have the necessary tools installed. For example, if using Python: 

    pip install <dependency_name>

  2. Create Module File
    Start by creating a new file for your module. Save it with a .py extension (e.g., my_module.py).

    code_editor

  3. Define Module Functionality
    Write the core functions or classes in your module. Here's a simple example: 

    def greet(name):
    return f"Hello, {name}!"

  4. Test Your Module
    Import and test the module in another script: 

    import my_module
print(my_module.greet("World"))

Tips for Success

  • Use clear naming conventions for your modules.
  • Keep functions focused on a single task.
  • Document your code for easier maintenance.
