PYTHON


                  Python is a popular high-level programming language. It is a powerful language used for general-purpose
                  programming. Python was developed by Guido van Rossum. He started applying Python in 1989.
                  Python is extensively used to develop:
                     Games                                              Websites

                     Graphical User Interface programs                  Web applications



                         FEATURES OF PYTHON


                      Easy to code:  It is very easy to write programs in Python as compared to other high-level
                    programming languages. This is because the language used to write Python code is similar to
                    the English language.


                      Open-source language: Python is a free and open-source programming language. An open-source
                    language is one which can be easily improved and distributed by anyone. You can download Python
                    free of cost and use it on any operating system such as Windows, Mac or Linux.

                      Object-Oriented:  Python  has an object-oriented  approach.  This means that  the  programs  are
                    designed using objects and classes that interact with each other.

                      Integrated and Extensible language: We can easily integrate Python with other languages such as

                    C, C++. We can also write and compile a Python code in C or C++.

                      Interpreted language: The code you create in Python is executed line by line which makes
                    it easy to correct any errors. On execution, a Python code is immediately converted into an
                    intermediate form. This is known as byte code. The byte code makes it easier to execute or
                    run the code in future.


                      Dynamically Typed language: Python is a dynamically typed language. This means that you do not
                    need to declare the type of variables in advance. For example, if you write a = 15, you do not need
                    to specify the variable a as an integer or string.
