Python | Introduction



Python is developed by Guido van Rossum. Guido van Rossum started implementing python in 1989. Python is very simple programming language so if you are new to programming, you can learn python without facing any issue.

Features of Python

  1. Free and Open Source -                                                                                     Python is a open source language. We can easily install python.It is freely available at python's official website.

  2. High level language -                                                                                            Easy to learn and use that means it is user friendly programming language. Python language is more expressive means that it is more understandable and readable.

  3.  Interpreted language-                                                                                        Python is a interpreted programming language means that python code directly runs from its source code. There is no compiler to compile python source code. In interpreted programming language the execution of the program is done by line-by-line.

  4. Object Oriented Language -                                                                              Python supports object oriented language and concepts.

  5. Interactive language -                                                                                        Python interacts with other programming language like C,C++,Java etc.

  6. Automatic memory management -                                                                    Python support automatic memory management means that if the values or data of the variable are same it allocates single memory block.

  7. Garbage collector -                                                                                            Python has garbage collector that means it removes unused memory blocks.

  8. Large standard libraries -                                                                                   Python has large amount of libraries and provides set of modules and functions for application development.

  9. GUI programming support -                                                                          Graphical user interface can be develop by using python.

Basic Knowledge of Python part 1

Basic Mathematics equations using Python- As we know python is a simple and easy to learn programming language. In this section we learn how to done mathematics equations using python. To perform this we use our basic operators +,-,/,* .  To perform python we have to open python interpreter. In this interpreter you can type simple equation like 5+5, 4/2 etc. For example: The integer number (e.g. 1,2,3....) have type int and the number with fractional part (e.g. 2.5,2.1,4.5...) have type float. Note:-  The division type always returns float. To get only an integer result of division you can use the // operator and to get remainder from division result you can use % operator. In python you can easily calculate power of the number by using ** operator. Like this you can easily calculate mathematics equation. Now we see how to find area of rectangle. Area = length*width is the formula to find area of rectangle. Here '=' sign is used to store value to the variable. You can als...
