This is Introduction to Python Programming. It is also a high-level, object-oriented programming language. Python is also a general-purpose, interpreted programming language the is designed to be very easy to learn without prior programming knowledge.<\/p>\n

The Programming Language Python supports both structured and functional programming and can also be used as a scripting language.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

History of Python Programming Language<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Python Programming Language was created by a Dutch Programmer, Guido Van Rossum<\/a> and released in 1991. It was created to succeed the ABC language<\/p>\n

Python 2.0 was released in October 16, 2000 and includes new features like support for Unicode and garbage collection<\/p>\n

Python 3.0 was released in December 3, 2008 and contains additional features but remained backwards compatible with Python 2.0.<\/p>\n

Compared to C++ and Java, Python is in between. This is because takes the functionalities of both languages.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Features of Python Language<\/h4>\n

An Object Oriented Programming(OOP) Language:<\/strong> Python competes with other OOP languages including C++ and Java. As such, you can easily create classes and objects in Python<\/p>\n

An Interpreted Language<\/strong>: Unlike compiled languages, Python codes you write are processed\/interpreted at runtime, statement by statement. This is the same with languages like PHP and Ruby.<\/p>\n

An Interactive Language<\/strong>: This means that you can enter Python commands in the Python command prompt and have the command executed.<\/p>\n

A General-Purpose Language:<\/strong> Python can be used for a variety of programming application. From building of standalone applications to web and mobile apps and games<\/p>\n

Automatic Garbage Collection<\/strong>: Python supports automatic garbage collection. Therefore, the objects are destroyed as soon as they go out of scope.<\/p>\n

Dynamic Type Checking<\/strong>: Variables in Python need not be declared before used. The Python interpreter determines the variable type.<\/p>\n

Integration with other languages: Python can easily be integrated with other programming languages such as C++, C, Java and Corba<\/p>\n

Benefits of Python<\/h4>\n

Python programming language has the following benefits which makes is one of the best languages for beginner programmers.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Portability <\/strong>– This means that program written in Python can run on different operating systems. It can also run across a wide range of hardware.<\/li>\n
  • Graphical User Interface\u00a0<\/strong>– Python can be used to develop GUI-based applications that can run on Windows, Mac and Linux.<\/li>\n
  • Database Integration <\/strong>– Python provides functionality to for connection to various database systems<\/li>\n
  • Easy to Learn<\/strong> – Python has a very simple structure and the syntax are clearly defined. This makes it possible to learn in a very short time<\/li>\n
  • Highly Readable<\/strong> – Python programs can be read and understood by other programmers and some non-programmers<\/li>\n
  • Can be Extended <\/strong>– Python allows for addition of modules to the Python interpreter to perform additional tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
