 What is Python?

❑ Python is an open source, object-oriented, high-level

powerful programming language.
❑ Python is a general-purpose programming language, which means that, unlike JavaScript, HTML,
and CSS, it can be used in applications beyond web development. Though it’s been around for 30
years, it has recently become one of the most popular programming languages, and its popularity
continues to grow.

❑ Developed by Guido van Rossum in the early 1990s. Named

after Monty Python

❑ Python runs on many Unix variants, on the Mac, and on

Windows 2000 and later.

❑ Available for download from http://www.python.org.

 Features of Python continue......

• Open source: Python is publicly available open source

software, any one can use source code that doesn't cost
anything.
• Easy-to-learn: Popular (scripting/extension) language,
clear and easy syntax, no type declarations, automatic memory
management, high-level data types and operations, design to
read (more English like syntax) and write (shorter code
compared to C, C++, and Java) fast.
 Features of Python continue......

• High-level Language:
High-level language (closer to human) refers to the higher
level of concept from machine language (for example
assembly languages). Python is an example of a high-level
language like C, C++, Perl, and Java with low-level
optimization.
• Portable:
High level languages are portable, which means they are able
to run across all major hardware and software platforms with
few or no change in source code. Python is portable and can be
used on Linux, Windows, Macintosh, Solaris, FreeBSD, OS/2,
Amiga, AROS, AS/400 and many more.
 Features of Python continue......

• Python is Interactive :
Python has an interactive console where you get a Python
prompt (command line) and interact with the interpreter
directly to write and test your programs. This is useful for
mathematical programming.
• Interpreted : Python programs are interpreted, takes
source code as input, and then compiles (to portable
byte-code) each statement and executes it immediately. No
need to compiling or linking
 Features of Python continue......

• Extendable : Python is often referred to as a "glue" language,

meaning that it is capable to work in mixed-language
environment. The Python interpreter is easily extended and can
add a new built-in function or modules written in C/C++/Java
code.

• Libraries : Databases, web services, networking, numerical

packages, graphical user interfaces, 3D graphics, others.

• Supports :Support from online Python community

 Python Interpreter

• In interactive mode, type Python programs and the interpreter

displays the result:
• Type python into your terminal's command line
• After a short message, the >>> symbol will appear
• The above symbol signals the start of a Python interpreter's
command line.
• Python interpreter evaluates inputs (For example >>> 4*(6-2)
return 16)
 History
• The name Python was selected from "Monty Python's Flying Circus" which
was a British sketch comedy series created by the comedy group Monty
Python and broadcast by the BBC from 1969 to 1974.
• Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at the
National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in
Netherlands.
• Python was created as a successor of a language called ABC (All Basic
Code) and released publicly in1991. Guido remains Python's principal
author, although it includes many contributions from active user
community.
• Between 1991 and 2001 there are several versions released, current stable
release is 3.2. In 2001 the Python Software Foundation (PSF) was formed,
a non-profit organization created specifically to own Python-related
Intellectual Property. Zope Corporation is a sponsoring member of the PSF.
• All most all Python releases are Open Source.

 Working with Python
Topics:
❖ Basic Syntax
❖ Constants ,Variable
❖ Types
❖ expession
❖ Operator
In this lesson you will learn the basics of Python and you will write your first Python program:

○ First python program

i. Comment
ii. Syntactic Error
iii. Semantic error

○ Types and Types-custing

○ Constants ,variables and Expressions
 First python Program
A statement or expression is an instruction the computer will run or execute. Perhaps the
simplest program you can write is a print statement. When you run the print statement, Python
will simply display the value in the parentheses. The value in the parentheses is called the
argument.

❖ A Semantic error is when your logic is wrong.For example, if you enter Python 102
instead of Python 101, you don't get an error message,but your code is wrong.
 Comment
❖ Comment tells other people what your code does.
❖ Single line comment
You simply put a hash symbol proceeding your comment. When you run the code, Python
will ignore the comment.

❖ Multiline comment
A triple quoted multi-line string is also treated as
comment if it is not a docstring of a function or class.
 Syntactic error
❖ A Syntactic error is when Python does not understand your code. For example, if you
spell print "frint", you will get an error message.
Type in Python (int,float,str,bool,...
 Type-casting in Python
You can change the type of the expression in Python; this is called type-casting.
