Introduction to Python
PYTHON(Programing Language)
Python is
an interpreted, object oriented, high level programming language. It was
developed by Guido Van Rossum in 1985-1990. It is a multi- paradigm programming
language. Fortunately an experienced programmer can pick up Python very quickly
as it is easy language.
Why python is must?
Fig 1.1
Python is a
high-level, interpreted, interactive and object oriented language. Python is
degined to highly readable. In python there is less use of English keywords as
comparison to other language .
Python
is must for students and working
professional to become a great a great software engineer specially when it work
in IT sector.
●
Python is interpreted- Python is
processed at runtime by the interpreter. You don’t need to compile your program
before executing it. It is similar to PHP,PERL.
●
Python is Interactive- you can
directly interact with interpreter to write your programs.
●
Python is beginner’s language- Python is great language for beginners and
supports the wide range of applications.
Characteristics Of PYTHON
There are following characteristics of python programming:-
⮚
Its supports functional and structured
programming methods as well as OOP.
⮚
It can be integrated by
C,C++,JAVA,CORBA.
⮚ It support garbage collection.
Application of Python.
❖
Easy to learn- Python has
easy syntax, few keywords, simple structure. Students easily learn this
language.
❖
Easy to read- It has well defined
Python code.
❖
Database- Python provide
interface to commercial database.
❖
GUI Programming- it support
GUI application that can be created and ported to many systems.
History
·
Python was developed in the
late 1980 by Guido van Rossum at Centrum Wiskunde & Infomatica (CWI) in the
Netherland as a successor to ABC programming language, which was inspired by
SETL, capable of exception handling and interfacing with the Amoeba operating
system. Its implementation began in December 1989.
·
Python 2.0 was developed on
16 October 2000,with many new features.
·
Python 3.0 was developed on
3 December 2008.
·
Python 2.7’s end of life
date was initially set at 2015 then postponed to 2020 out of concern that a
large body of existing code could not easily be forward ported to Python3.
·
Python 3.9.2 and 3.8.8 were
expedited as all version of python had security issues, leading to possible
remote code execution .
