Quick Intro

Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language.

INTERPRETED

This language uses an interpreter to change the code to machine language.

OBJECT-ORIENTED

This language is designed around objects. Objects are nothing but data fields that has a unique attributes and behavior.

High level language

Programmers can easily understand, or interpret or compile the high level programming langugae comparing to machine. Example: C, C++, Java, Python

Low level language

Low level language - Machine can understand the low level language compared to humans.
Examples: Machine language or Assembly language. machine language in the sense, everything will be in binary.

  • Python is a case sensitive language.

  • Python 2.0 was released on 16 October 2000

  • Python 3.0 was released on 3 December 2008.

Zen of Python

The principles are listed as follows:

  • Beautiful is better than ugly.
  • Explicit is better than implicit.
  • Simple is better than complex.
  • Complex is better than complicated.
  • Flat is better than nested.
  • Sparse is better than dense.
  • Readability counts.
  • Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
  • Although practicality beats purity.
  • Errors should never pass silently.
  • Unless explicitly silenced.
  • In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
  • There should be one—and preferably only one—obvious way to do it.
  • Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
  • Now is better than never.
  • Although never is often better than right now.
  • If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
  • If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
  • Namespaces are one honking great idea—let's do more of those!
