As we know the computer can perform a big task in a fraction of second but the computer cannot think and cannot make a decision on own its own. It required a program. A program is a set of instruction which guides a computer to solve a particular task. To writing a program
1st understanding a problem in a logical manner is very necessary. The process of writing a program is called programming. So, writing instruction in a proper sequence and correctly is extremely important. programming a language has been created to meet the needs of programmers.
python is a programming language that has stood the test of time and has remained relevant across industries and business, among programmers and individual users. As we know python reminds us of the frightening reptile. However, here python name is used because similar to the flexible body of the reptile this language is also very flexible and easy.
Python is an open source object-oriented high-level programming language developed by Guido van Rossum in 1991. At national research institute for mathematics Netherlands presently there is foundation known as python software foundation. It is based on ABC language and was inspired by famous BBC comedy show ”Monty pythons flying circus”. ABC language is a teaching language created to replace basic programming language which was developed earlier.
IMPORTANCE OF PYTHON
It is an interactive language with simple syntax. It has been increasingly popular because it is easy, it is free and open source. It is GUI programming it is loosely tight object-oriented programming it is easy to learn it supports GUI(graphical user interface). It is compatible with languages like c++ java etc. it is used for scientific programming as well as non-scientific programming.
It has dynamic typing so it takes less time to developed python program then equivalent java program. It is platform independent and can run across different platforms like windows mac os, Linux, Unix, hadora and other operating system python program uses clear simple concise and English like instruction that are easy to read and understand even by non-programmers. It requires less learning time because of a simple and shorter code.
