Python is a high level programming language which was created by Dutch programmer named Guido van Rossum in 1990.
Features of Python :
- Easy to Read & Code :
- Any program (instructions/statements that performs a specific task.) having proper indentation is easy to read.
- In a programming language like c, c++ we use curly braces for grouping statements. Python doesn't use brackets for grouping of statements. In Python "Indentation" shows where the group of statement starts and where it ends.
- Python uses English keywords thats why its easy to code in Python. By just reading statements we can tell what it does.
- Open Source :
- Open source programming language refers to programming language whose source code is freely available on the internet and we can redistribute and modify it.
- Because of this feature we can use python for our commercial use.
- Object Oriented Programming:
- Python supports Object Oriented Programming (OOP) paradigm.
- OOP has more advantages (advantages of Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism etc.) than procedural programming.
- For the real world problem OOP is more suitable than any other programming paradigm.
- Large amount of Standard Libraries :
- In programming, library is a collection of functions (Function is a block of code which performs specific task.) that allows you to perform various task effortlessly.
- In Software or Web development libraries savesmuch more time hence also reduces cost of project.
- numpy, scipy, pillow, pandas are some of Python's popular libraries.
