Python Chp1 Intro

Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language created by Guido van Rossum in 1991, known for its readability and simplicity. It supports various programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming, and is widely used in web development, data science, and artificial intelligence. Python features a large standard library, is portable across different platforms, and allows for interactive coding and debugging.

INTRODUCTION

• Python is a widely used general-purpose, high level


programming language.
• It was created by Guido van Rossum in 1991.
• It is used for:
 web development (server-side)
 software development
 Mathematics
 Data Science
 Artificial Intelligence
 system scripting.
• Python is high level programming
language, Interpreted language and
general purpose programming
language.
• Python has a large and wide ranging
libraries
What is Python
• Python is designed to be highly readable. It uses English keywords frequently where
as other languages use punctuation, and it has fewer syntactical constructions than
other languages.

• Python is Interpreted − Python is processed at runtime by the interpreter. You do


not need to compile your program before executing it.

• Python is Interactive − You can actually sit at a Python prompt and interact with
the interpreter directly to write your programs.
• Python has support for an interactive mode which allows interactive testing and
debugging of snippets of code

• Python is Object-Oriented − Python supports Object-Oriented style or technique of


programming that encapsulates code within objects.
Python Features

 Easy-to-learn − Python has few keywords, simple


structure, and a clearly defined syntax. This allows the
student to pick up the language quickly.

 Easy-to-read − Python code is more clearly defined


and visible to the eyes.

 Easy-to-maintain − Python's source code is fairly


easy-to-maintain.
• A broad standard library − Python's bulk of the
library is very portable and cross-platform
compatible on UNIX, Windows, and Macintosh.
 Interactive Mode − Python has support for an
interactive mode which allows interactive testing
and debugging of snippets of code.
 Portable − Python can run on a wide variety of
hardware platforms and has the same interface on all
platforms
• Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux,
Raspberry Pi, etc).
• Python has a simple syntax similar to the English
language.
• Python has syntax that allows developers to write
programs with fewer lines than some other programming
languages.
• Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code
can be executed as soon as it is written. This means that
prototyping can be very quick.
• Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object-
oriented way or a functional way.
