✶ Integrated and Extensible language: We can easily integrate Python with other languages
such as C, C++. We can also write and execute a Python code in C or C++.
✶ Interpreted language: The code you create in Python is executed line by line which makes
debugging easier. On execution, a Python code is immediately converted into an intermediate
called 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 a string.
