Introduction to Python Programming 

Hello friends, in this blog we see what is Python programming? With examples. First, we see what is the background of python, means the history of Python.

            Python is a high-level programming language and this language is developed by Guido van Rossum. The first version of Python language is developed and released in 1991. Python is developed for programming because other programming languages are large in size, so to find an error in that large programs is so difficult, to overcome this Python is developed.

Features of python programming:

1.       High level programming language: This language is closely related to human-readable language rather than Machine language.

2.       Python is a free and open-source language: The python setup is free to download, so it is free and open-source language.

3.       Python is simple: Python code is very small or compact as compared to other languages like c, c++, JAVA.

4.       Error checking and high-level data type: Python offers more effective error checking mechanism than C. Python is having a built-in high-level data type for example dictionaries and flexible arrays.

5.       Platform independent language: It means you can write your Python program in one machine and run that same code on another machine which has python. Python runs on any OS like Windows, Unix, DOS, etc.

6.       User friendly: Python language is having the feature of abstraction and hiding of the details which makes it more user-friendly. We can divide the program into modules that you can be used in other python programs.

7.       Extensible: If you are writing an application in C and you are linking the python interpreter into an application then you can use it as an extension or command language for that application.

8.       Python is object-oriented: Python supports the object-oriented programming concept, but OOPS is optional in python. When you/we are using or writing a python program that time we feel like we write the program in python.

Friends these features are used when we are writing the code in python. In next blog we see the actual programs of python.
