Python Overview

Python Overview
Python is a general purpose object-oriented programming language with high-level programming capabilities. It has become famous because of its clear and easily understandable syntax, portability and easy to learn.

Some Facts About Python

  • Python was developed in the late eighties i.e. late 1980’s by Guido van Rossum at the National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in the Netherlands as a successor of ABC language capable of exception handling and interfacing.
  • Python is derived from programming languages such as: ABC, Modula 3, small talk, algol-68.
  • PHP page is a file with .py extension that contains could be the combination of HTML Tags and Python scripts.
  • In December 1989 the creator developed the 1st python interpreter as a hobby and then in 16 October 2000, Python 2.0 was released with many new features.
  • On 3rd December 2008, Python 3.0 was released with more testing and includes new features.
  • Python is an open source scripting language.
  • Python is free to download and use.
  • Python is one of the official language at Google.

Python Why? Characteristics and Features of Python

  • Interpreted Language: Python is processed at runtime by Python Interpreter.
  • Object Oriented Language: It supports object-oriented features and techniques of programming.
  • Interactive Programming Language: Users can interact with the python interpreter directly for writing programs.
  • Easy language: Python is easy to learn language especially for beginners.
  • Straightforward Syntax: The formation of python syntax is simple and straightforward which also makes it popular.
  • Easy to read: Python source-code is clearly defined and visible to the eyes.
  • Portable: Python codes can be run on a wide variety of hardware platforms having the same interface.
  • Extendable: Users can add low level-modules to Python interpreter.
  • Scalable: Python provides an improved structure for supporting large programs then shell-scripts.

What You Can Do with Python

Python is used to create web and desktop applications, and some of the most popular web applications like Instagram, YouTube, Spotify all has been developed in Python, and you can also develop next big thing by using Python.

Python Lists

Python Lists Dealing with data in a structured format is quiet generous, and this is possible if those data are set accordingly in a specific manner. So, Python provides these data structures named ‘lists’ and ‘tuples’ that are used to organize data in  single set. Python has 6 built-in sequences and among them the most famous are “lists and tuples”. The lists are containers that hold a number of other objects in a given order. It usually puts into practice the sequence protocol and allows programmers to add or remove objects from that sequence. Each element of the sequence is assigned a number i.e. he index and the first index is 0 (zero). This versatile data-type of Python is written in a sequence of list separated by commas between expressions. Creating Lists To build a list, just put a number of expressions in square brackets. The syntax is: Syntax: lst1 = [ ] # lst1 is the name of the list lst2 = [ expression1 , …. , expression_N ] Example: #!/usr/bin/python ls...

C++ Qualifiers and Storage Classes

C++ Qualifiers and Storage Classes Qualifiers and storage class are smaller but important programming concept that helps to make the quality of a variable more accurate for using that variable within the program. In this chapter you will learn about how qualifiers are used with variables and what the roles of different storage classes in C++ are. What is a Qualifier? A qualifier is a token added to a variable which adds an extra  quality , such as specifying volatility or constant-ness to a variable. They act like an adjective for a variable. With or without a qualifier, the variable itself still occupies the same amount of memory, and each bit has the same interpretation or contribution to the state/value. Qualifiers just specify something about how it may be accessed or where it is stored. Three qualifiers are there in C++. These are: const : This is used to define that the type is constant. volatile : his is used to define that the type is volatile. mutable:  applies to non...
