Introduction to Python Programming

       
       
        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.
Python is used in -
  • Web and Internet Development
  • Database Access
  • Desktop GUIs
  • Scientific & Numeric computing
  • Education
  • Network Programming
  • Software & Game Development
