Python

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language that was created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991. Python’s design philosophy emphasizes code readability with its notable use of significant indentation. Its language constructs and object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects. Python is dynamically typed and garbage-collected, which means that the type of a variable is checked during runtime and memory management is handled automatically. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. Python is often described as a “batteries included” language due to its comprehensive standard library that is automatically included with every Python installation. This standard library, along with a plethora of third-party modules available for download, makes Python a versatile language capable of handling a wide array of tasks, ranging from web development to data analysis, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and scientific computing. Python’s simplicity and readability have made it a popular choice for beginners and experts alike, and it is widely used in industry, academia, and by hobbyists.
