Introduction to Python
What is Programming?
Programming is the process of writing instructions.
Instructions here refers to codes.
Lower the level of Language, closer it is to Hardware, hence fast but difficult to read and write. E.g. - Assembly, Machine Code
Higher the level of Language, easier it is to read and write but slower to execute. E.g. - Python, Java
What is Compiler?
Converts High Level Language into Machine Code at one step. E.g. - C, C++, Java.
Compiler has an edge over Interpreter in terms of Speed.
What is Interpreter?
Converts High Level Language into Machine Code Line-By-Line. E.g. - Python, JS.
Interpreter has an edge over Compiler in terms of Debugging
Python is a High Level, Interpreted Language.
Famous for it readability, ease of learning and huge library support.
Invented by Guido Von Rossum in 1991
Generally used for:
Web Dev (Django, Flask, FastAPI)
Data Science and Data Analytics (Pandas, Numpy, SciPy, Seaborn, MatPlotLib)
AIML (Tensorflow, PyTorch, OpenCV, Scikit-Learn, Keras)
Game Dev (PyGame)
Automation (Playwright, Selenium, BeautifulSoup, PyAutoGUI)
Real-Life Usage:
