R SCRIPTING LANGUAGE
                 R is a scripting language that is used for statistical computing and is widely incorporated in data
                 analysis modelling. It is an interpreter-based language and possesses the features of an object-
                 oriented programming language.


                 STRUCTURED QUERY LANGUAGE (SQL)

                 SQL is used for managing and querying data stored in databases. Extracting information from the
                 database is the first step towards data analysis. It is a flexible and dynamic language and is used
                 in extracting, managing and manipulating data.


                 PYTHON
                 Python is a widely-used language for data science and software development. It is an interpreter-
                 based  high-level language  which has gained  popularity  because  of its  ease  of use  and  code
                 readability.
                 It comes  with  many  packages  for deep  learning and is  hence  used  widely  for data  analysis

                 and  natural  language  processing.  Python  is  utilised  for purposes  like  data  mining,  wrangling,
                 visualisation, and developing predictive models.

                 HADOOP
                 Hadoop has become the most popular software framework for big data and it is a tool that helps
                 in regulating the storage of massive datasets.


                 TABLEAU
                 Tableau is an ideal data visualisation software that helps in analysing data which allows users to
                 create interactive visualisations and dashboards. It has the ability to connect with spreadsheets,
                 relational databases, and cloud platforms which enable it to process data directly.




                           AI AND DATA SCIENCE

                 AI has gained quite a lot of popularity these days. It is now being used in almost every technology

                 imaginable. The major components of AI include data, natural language processing and computer
                 vision. If you look closely, these are also based on data and its applications. For instance, computer
                 vision uses a lot of data to create datasets which in turn becomes the base of the AI system which
                 is capable of recognising any object in a given image. To create such an intelligent system, we
                 need a lot of data and to process all that data we need data science.  Hence, you can say that
                 Data Science and AI go hand in hand.
