Chapter 1: Discover Python
Welcome to the amazing world of Python. Thank you for buying this book, you will pick up the skills required for this programming language of the future. Python is currently the second most popular high-level programming language after Java. Guido van Rossum developed Python between 1985- 1990. Python was created to eliminate the shortcomings of other high-level languages like Java and c++. Though these high-level languages are extremely useful, they are difficult to master. Some of the undesirable qualities of these other languages include.
1. They have an extensive vocabulary which looks nothing like English; thus they are neither readable nor comprehensible to a nonprogrammer.
2. Punctuation marks and special characters are used extensively.
3. Most of their constructs must be declared explicitly. For instance, you must explicitly state the type of a variable. These leads to several lines of logically redundant code.
Python eliminates all these difficulties; it has a limited vocabulary, and most of its constructs are implicit resulting in fewer lines of code. The program does what you expect it to do. Python code is simple, comprehensible and readable. What you write is what you get. The Python language correctly handles implicit facts like terminating a loop.
Advantages of Phyton:
As previously mentioned, Python is jam packed with loads of goodies. Below are just a few of them.
1. Its simplicity is its main attraction. Anyone can become proficient in python in a matter of days. It is the perfect beginners programming language.
2. It is very versatile; thus can be used for several purposes including database programming, statistical analysis, GUI development, OS file management, games, Cloud architecture programming and web programming.
3. It is an interpreted language which makes it fast and portable across
