Python Fundamentals (ePub)

Python is a globally accepted, well-interpreted, and high-level, general-purpose programming language which was designed and created by Guido van Rossum in the year 1991. The object-oriented aim of the language and its language constructs together help the programmers to generate a logical and clear code for large-scale and small-scale projects.

The use of Python programming language has been found in both small-scale industries like mobile app development, website development, for carrying out mathematical computations, etc. as well as in large-scale industries such as in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.

The use of Python programming languages is favored over other programming languages like C and C++ due to various reasons such as the syntaxes used in the Python programming language that is most similar to the English language. It can be used on a variety of different platforms such as Linux, Mac, Pi, Windows, Raspberry, etc. The functioning of the Python programming language is based on the interpreter system and, lastly, because it can be used in a functional way or in an object-oriented way.

Data Type is the categorized and classified information which is assigned to the variable. There are two types of Data types in the Python- Mutable Data Types and Immutable Data Types. Number, Strings, and Tuples are Immutable Data Types. Lists, Dictionary, and Sets are Mutable Data Types.

The Operators in this language are defined as symbols that play a significant role in carrying out a certain operation between two operands. These are regarded as the pillars of the python programming language on which the logic of the entire program is made.
