The document discusses Python as a programming language. It explains that Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level scripting language. While Python code is first compiled and then interpreted, Python is considered a scripting language. The document provides examples of Python code and discusses why Python is easy to read and use for tasks like printing output and iterating with loops. It also briefly mentions some organizations that use Python.

Python

2. Programming Language?
Language is a tool to perform certain task.
Categories:
Compiled language & Interpreted/Scripting
Language
C, C++ are the example of Compiled Language.
PHP, Perl are the example of Scripting Language

3. What is Python?
Compiled Language or Scripting Language?

4. What is Python?
Compiled Language or Scripting Language?
Python was developed by Guido van Rossum in the
late 1980s.
It is an Object Oriented High Level Language.
Python is a scripting language, but in principle, it is first compiled and
then interpreted.

6. Why Python?
print “hello” #display hello in the screen
include<stdio.h>
include<conio.h>
void main()
{
printf(“Hello World”); /*display hello in the screen*/
getch();
}
Python focuses on user readability and
simplicity

7. pi = 3.14
for r in range(4):
area = pi * r*r
print r, area
print “End of Program”
Python is dynamic in nature.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main(){
float pi = 3.14;
int r;
float area = 0;
for(r=0; r<5; r++){
area = pi * r*r;
printf(“%d %f”, r, area);
}
printf(“End of Program”);
}
Why Python?

8. Why Python?
 Beautiful is better than ugly.
 Explicit is better than implicit.
 Simple is better than complex.
 Complex is better than complicated.
 Readability counts.
Lots of documentation and resources are
available in internet for FREE !!

9. Why not Python?
 Its dynamic nature costs more memory usage.
 Its execution is slower than other compiled language
like C and java.
