Python Overview:
● High-level programming language
● Created by Guido van Rossum in 1991
● Open-source and free to use
● Interpreted language (code executed line-by-line)
● Object-oriented language
● Supports multiple programming paradigms (procedural, functional, and
object-oriented)
● Has a large and active community
● Easy to read and write (uses whitespace indentation to delimit code blocks)
● Cross-platform compatibility (can run on Windows, macOS, Linux, and other
operating systems)
● Popular for web development, scientific computing, data analysis, machine learning,
and artificial intelligence applications
● Large number of libraries and frameworks available for various purposes
● Regularly updated and maintained
● Can be used for both small and large-scale projects.
Syntax:
● Uses whitespace indentation to delimit code blocks (no curly braces like C++ or
Java)
● Uses dynamic typing (variable types are determined at runtime)
● Uses a syntax that is easy to read and write
● Can be executed from an interactive shell or by running a script file.
Data Types:
● Integers
● Floats
● Strings
● Booleans
● Lists
● Tuples
● Dictionaries
● Sets
Control Flow:
● If/else statements
● For loops
● While loops
Functions:
● Functions are defined using the "def" keyword
● Functions can accept arguments and return values.
