ABOUT PYTHON: ============= What is the Python? =================== Application: =========== collection of programs multi tasking ==> three types: 1) Desktop Applications ==> Notepad, Excel, Paint, Calculator etc. 2) Web Applications ==> gmail, youtube etc. 3) Distributed Applications Phonepe/Paytm by any banking Subscriber Bank Balance check balance Phonepe ===> bank server (App) <==== UPI <==== display 1) General Purpose Programming Language 2) High Level Programming Language 3) Easy Programming Language Syntax: ====== set of guidelines for making the code/program History of Python: ================== Guido Van Rossum 1980 and early 1990 NRI (National Research Institute), Netherlands Roots for python: C ==> Procedural C++ ==> Objective nature Perl & Shell Scripting 1980: BBC Mount's Python Circus Python Features: =============== 1) High level 2) Easy 3) General Purpose 4) Open Source & Free 5) Portable X-app ==> Python ==> Windows ==> extending to Linux/Mac-OS 6) Extendible 7) Dynamically Typed High Level Programming languages 1) Statically Typed : C 2) Strongly Typed 3) Dynamically Typed In C: datatype data-name = value; ex: int x = 123; correct int y = 1.23; correct // y = 1 In Java: datatype data-name = value; ex: int x = 100; correct int x = 1.23; Incorrect In Python: data-name = value; x = 1.23 // float c = 100; // int len(), print(), id() etc. Python Applications: ==================== 1) Web applications 2) Desktop Applications 3) Distributed Applications 4) DataScience 5) Artificial Intelligence 6) Scripting etc. ============================================================= PYTHON SETUP: ============= 1) Download and Install python software ======================================== ==> we should check whether the python software is already in our computer or not: window-search bar ==> cmd ==> open command prompt ==> type a command: "python --version" ==> when we are not having the python software: we should download it. use this link: https://www.python.org/downloads/ to download the python software ==> After the downloading, we can run that file select the last check list (python PATH) click on "Install Now". 2) Download IDE (Integrated Development Environment) ==================================================== PyCharm https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/?section=windows 3) create the python file 4) Write program 5) Run the program print "hello" print("hello")
