Thanks @creatr. I'd actually just gotten through the first segment of a Python lesson and was surprised how easy that went. I'm going to continue with the course and keep practicing.
You should have seen the look on my face when the first "program" was printing "Hello World!" LOL It must have been comical because my husband nearly spewed his drink through his nose before he asked me if everything was all right. ha! I'm not giving up on C but I'm taking great steps toward it :)
