Introduction to Python



Introduction

Python is a general purpose programming language. Like other programming languages we can sort some points about Python.

  • Python is a High Level Programming Language (uses English like words, understandable to humans)
  • Python is an Interpreter, it scans every line from the beginning while converting it into machine codes.
  • Python is an Object Oriented Programming (OOP) Language, so that the developers can use it for large scale and small scale projects to write clear, powerful codes with logical thinking.
  • Python was developed as a successor of ABC Programming Language in late 1980's and it was first ever released in 1991 by Guido Van Rossum.

Applications

Python has a wide range of applications in the present situation. Simplicity of writing codes and logical applications with support of large library Python has been predicted as a widely used programming language after C and Java. It is considered to be the most relevant language after 2021. Some of its key application areas are described below;

  • Online Video Library
  • Web Applications
  • Online Monitoring Systems
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Structured Web Developments
  • Robotics
  • Developing Mobile Apps
  • Defense Tool Development
  • Cyber Intrusion Testing
  • Language Processing
  • Machine Learning

We couldn't end here, because the language has endless features and development opportunities.

Features

As we know Python has so many application around the globe because of its key features like;

  • Platform Independence
  • Object Oriented Programming
  • Large Library Functions
  • Support from a Large Global Community
  • Wide Collection of IDEs for Application Development
  • Can use as a Scripting Language
  • Provides Dynamic Data Types and Dynamic Type Checking
  • Can Integrate with C, C++ and Java

Python Calculator Program with GUI Intercface

   Python Calculator Program with GUI Intercface Here is a Python program using the tkinter library to create a simple GUI-based calculator. This calculator can perform basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.   import tkinter as tk # Function to update the input field when a button is clicked def button_click(item):     global expression     expression = expression + str(item)     input_text.set(expression) # Function to clear the input field def button_clear():     global expression     expression = ""     input_text.set("") # Function to evaluate the expression and display the result def button_equal():     global expression     try:         result = str(eval(expression))  # Evaluate the expression         input_text.set(result) ...

Python GUI Program to Calculate Age

Python GUI Program to Calculate Age     Certainly! Below is a Python program using the tkinter library to create a simple GUI that accepts a date of birth and calculates the age.   import tkinter as tk from tkinter import messagebox from datetime import datetime def calculate_age():     dob_str = entry_dob.get()     try:         dob = datetime.strptime(dob_str, "%Y-%m-%d")         today = datetime.today()         age = today.year - dob.year - ((today.month, today.day) < (dob.month, dob.day))         messagebox.showinfo("Age Calculator", f"Your age is: {age} years")     except ValueError:         messagebox.showerror("Error", "Please enter the date in YYYY-MM-DD format") # Create the main window root = tk.Tk() root.title("Age Calculator") # Create a labe...

How Python is Syntactically Different from Other Languages

  Python is known for its clean and straightforward syntax, which sets it apart from many other programming languages. Here are some key syntactic differences that make Python unique: 1. Whitespace and Indentation:    Python uses indentation to define code blocks, like loops and functions, instead of using curly braces or keywords like "end" or "begin." This enforces clean and consistent code formatting. For example: #in python for i in range(5):        print(i)      In contrast, other languages may use curly braces for block structure, like this in C++: // in cpp for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {        cout << i << endl;    }    2. Dynamic Typing:    Python is dynamically typed, meaning you don't need to declare the data type of a variable explicitly. The type of a variable is determined at runtime. This makes Python more flexible but requires careful atte...
