command called print followed by one argument,which is "Hello, World!". (referred to as a string of characters, or string) Command and its arguments are collectively referred to as a statement,
 
  print "2 + 2 is", 2 + 2
The first argument is the string "2 + 2 is" and the second argument is the mathematical expression 2 + 2, which is commonly referred to as an expression. each of the arguments separated by a comma
 
sys.argv  arguments are passed to the script in the variable sys.argv

=functions=
The key feature of this program is the def statement. def (short for define) starts a function definition. def is followed by the name of the function absolute_value. Next comes a '(' followed by the parameter n (n is passed from the program into the function when the function is called). The statements after the ':' are executed when the function is used. The statements continue until either the indented statements end or a return is encountered. The return statement returns a value back to the place where the function was called.
