Python is a popular, high-level, general-purpose programming language known for its

readability and beginner-friendliness. Created by Guido van Rossum and released in 1991, its
name comes from the British comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus, reflecting a design
philosophy that embraces a fun and approachable programming experience.

Here's why Python is so widely used:

 Simple and Readable Syntax: Python's syntax is similar to the English language, making it
easy to learn and understand. It emphasizes code readability through indentation rather
than relying on curly brackets or semicolons, which can be found in other programming
languages.

 Versatility: Python is a general-purpose language, meaning it can be used for various


applications, including:

o Web development: Backend web development using frameworks like Django and
Flask.

o Data science and machine learning: Widely used for data analysis, visualization,
and building machine learning models with libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and
Scikit-learn.

o Automation and scripting: Automating repetitive tasks, web scraping, and


scripting system administration functions.

o Software development: Building software, automating tests, and managing


projects.

 Extensive Libraries and Frameworks: Python boasts a rich ecosystem of libraries and
frameworks for nearly every task, reducing development time by providing pre-written
code modules for common functionalities such as web development (Django, Flask),
data analysis (Pandas, NumPy), machine learning (Scikit-learn, TensorFlow), and more.

 Open Source and Large Community Support: Python is open-source and free, allowing
users to freely use, modify, and distribute the language, according to WsCube Tech. It
also has a large and active community that provides support through forums, tutorials,
and documentation.

 Cross-Platform Compatibility: Python code can run on various operating systems like
Windows, macOS, and Linux without needing modifications, making it highly portable.

 Dynamically Typed: Python is a dynamically typed language, so you don't need to


declare variable types explicitly beforehand, which adds flexibility and speeds up
development.
 Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Support: Python supports OOP, allowing
developers to create reusable and modular code using classes and objects, facilitating
the development of complex applications.

Practical Python code examples

python

# Hello World Program

print("Hello, world!")

Use code with caution.

python

# Basic Arithmetic Operations

a = 10

b=5

print("Addition:", a + b)

print("Subtraction:", a - b)

print("Multiplication:", a * b)

print("Division:", a / b)

Use code with caution.

python

# Function Definition

def greet(name):

print("Hello,", name)

greet("Jack")

greet("Jill")

greet("Bob")
