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.

C++ Constructors and Destructors

C++ Constructors and Destructors Providing the initial value as described in the earlier chapters of C++ does not conform to the philosophy of C++. So C++ provides a special member function called the constructor which enables an object to initialize itself at the time of its creation. This is known as automatic initialization of objects. This concept of C++ also provides another member function called destructor which is used to destroy the objects when they are no longer required. In this chapter, you will learn about how constructors and destructors work, types of constructors and how they can be implemented within C++ program. What are constructors? The process of creating and deleting objects in C++ is vital task. Each time an instance of a class is created the constructor method is called. Constructors is a special member functions of class and it is used to initialize the objects of its class. It is treated as a special member function because its name is the same as the cla...

C if-else Statements

Flow Control C if-else Statements If else statements in C is also used to control the program flow based on some condition, only the difference is: it’s used to execute some statement code block if expression is evaluated to true, otherwise executes else statement code block. The basic format of if else statement is: Syntax: if ( test_expression ) { //execute your code } else { //execute your code } Figure – Flowchart of if else Statement: Example of a C Program to Demonstrate if else Statement  Example: #include <stdio.h> main () { int a , b ; printf ( "Please enter the value for a:" ); scanf ( "%d" , & amp ; a ); printf ( "\nPlease the value for b:" ); scanf ( "%d" , & amp ; b ); if ( a & gt ; b ) {    printf ( "\n a is greater" ); } else {    printf ( "\n b is greater" ); } } Program Output: Example: #include <stdio.h> main () { int num ; printf ( ...
