#1 What is Python?
Python is a dynamic, interpreted (bytecode-compiled) language that is usedi in a wide range of domains and technical fields. It was developed by Guidov vanRossum in 1991. It was mainly developed for code readability and its syntax is such that it allows programmers to code/express concepts in
fewer lines of code. Compared to compiled languages like C, Java, or For-tran, we do not need to declare the type of variables, functions, etc. when we write code in Python. This makes our code short and flexible. Python tracks the types of all values at runtime and flags code that does not make sense as it runs. On the Python website, we find the following executive summary:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming lan-guage with dynamic semantics.
It is high-level built in data struc-tures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use asa scripting or glue language to connect existing components to-gether.
Python’s simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python sup-ports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms and can be freely distributed.
