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.
