PythonClass
Quick Intro
- Python was developed by Guido Van Rossum in 1991.
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!
