WHAT IS PYTHON

   What is python?


 Python is a general purpose interpreted interactive object oriented and high level programming language.  It was first introduced in 1991 by Guido van Rossum, a Dutch computer programmer.  The language places strong emphasis on code reliability and simplicity so that the programmers can develop applications rapidly

 features of Python :

Readable : Python's syntax is designed to be intuitive and readable, which makes it suitable for beginners and experienced programmers alike.


Dynamically Typed: Python is dynamically typed, meaning you don't need to explicitly declare variable types. Types are determined at runtime.


Interpreted: Python code is executed line by line by the Python interpreter, which allows for rapid development and testing.


Versatility: Python can be used for a wide range of applications, including web development, data analysis, scientific computing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, automation, scripting, and more.

Cross-Platform: Python is cross-platform, which means code written in Python can run on various operating systems without major modifications.

Object-Oriented: Python supports object-oriented programming (OOP) principles, allowing you to define classes and objects to structure your code.

Indentation: Unlike many other programming languages that use braces or parentheses to define code blocks, Python uses indentation (whitespace) to denote block structure. This enforces consistent and readable code.

Open Source: Python is an open-source language, which means its source code is freely available, and developers can contribute to its development.


       History of python

Python is created by Guido Van Rossum in the 1980s. 
 
Rossum published the first version of Python code (0.9.0) in February 1991 at the 
           CWI (Centrum Wiskunde & Informatics) in the Netherlands , Amsterdam.

  Python is derived from ABC programming language, which is a general-purpose programming language that had been developed at the CWI.

  Rossum chose the name "Python", since he was a big fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus. 

 Python is now maintained by a core development team at the institute, although Rossum still holds a vital role in directing its progress
