Introduction to Python programming

Python is a general purpose and interpreted language. It is a high level programming language, which means that it separates the user from the underlying operating system as much as possible. It is very easy to learn, easy syntax and  has a huge collection of libraries. These features have made python one of the most popular programming language nowadays. This might be the reason why developers are switching to python from other programming languages like java, perl etc.

Python follows procedural as well as object oriented paradigm.

Python was created in 1991 by Guido Van Rossum and the language was named after a BBC comedy show namely ‘Monty Python’.

Python programming language can be used in machine learning, data science, artificial intelligence, web scraping, web development and many more fields.
