Programming In Python | What is Python language ?

 We need to give instruction to the computer, to begin the process of solving problems or to accomplish certain tasks. A set of predefined instructions in logical manner makes up a program.

Programming

One of the most important aspect of computer field is to make 'Programs'. A program is written in a computer language, like BASIC, 'C', 'C++', Python, etc. A computer language consists of codes which are combined in accordance with a predefined syntax. that conveys the instruction to the components (ALU) of CPU.

In this section, I am discuss about how to solve problems by developing simple programs with the help of the computer language; 'Python'

What is Python ?

Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. This language Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991. Python is a very simple and powerful language. It helps to create programs in computer.

Python

Python has involved into a useful language as it is simple and is being used in many fields such as in Robotics, Scientific Purposes (Used by NASA), Search Engines (Google), YouTube, Hardware Testing (Being used by Intel, Cisco, HP, etc.), GUI Interface (Popularly used in GIMP), 3D Animation (Maya) etc.

Features of Python Programming Language:

  • The keywords of python are in simple English.
  • Python library is portable and compatible with all types of Operating System hence it is known as platform independent programming language.
  • Python is an interpreted language i.e. Python interprets and executes the code, line by line. This also makes Python easy to debug.
  • It can be easily intergrated with C,C++, Java, etc.

Character Set of Python

Character set in Python consists of valid characters such as alphabets, digits or special characters that are recognized by the library of Python Language.

Alphabets                 A,B......,Y,Z or a,b......,y,z
Digits                        0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
Special characters    ~!@#$%^&*()_-+=|\{}[]:;"'<>,.?/,<<,>>
White space              Blank space, Horizontal tab, New line, etc.

Keywords in Python

There are 33 keywords in Python which are:
  • false
  • return
  • else
  • lambda
  • yield
  • from
  • def
  • none
  • import
  • is 
  • with
  • break
  • or
  • if
  • true
  • elif
  • while
  • assert
  • for
  • continue
  • raise
  • and
  • in
  • as
  • finally
  • not
  • global
  • del
  • try
  • except
  • nonlocal
  • class
  • pass

Identifiers in Python

Identifiers are the fundamental building blocks of a program that are used to identify names of different elements of the programs such as variable. These elements have specific properties that helps in making programs.

Guidelines for creating Identifiers in Python:
  • An identifier is an arbitrary sequence of letters in lower case (a to z) & upper case (A to Z), digits (0 to 9) and underscore (_).
  • The first character of the identifier must be a letter (a to z or A to Z) or underscore (_). It must not begin with digits (0-9).
  • An identifier must not be a 'keyword'.
  • An identifier must not contain any special character except underscore (_).
 Example of Valid Identifier:
  • _hello
  • _Hello
  • _HeLlo
  • hello_123 
  • _12
Example of Invalid Identifier along with the Reason:
1Hello : The name of the identifier should never start with a 'Number'.
@Hello : The name of the identifier should not contain any special character expect _ .
return : The name of the identifier should not be same as any of the keywords.

What is the main use of Python ?

Python is a general purpose and high level programming language. You can use Python for developing desktop GUI applications, websites and web applications. Also, Python, as a high level programming language, allows you to focus on core functionality of the application by taking care of common programming tasks.

Some of the benefits of programming in Python include:
  • Presence of Third Party Modules.
  • Extensive Support Libraries.
  • Open Source and Community Development.
  • Learning Ease and Support Available.
  • User-friendly Data Structures.
  • Productivity and Speed.

What is Hard Disk? Definition, functions and types.

In this article, you will know what is Hard Disk and what are these types? Hard disks are also often called Disk drive or "Hard Disk Drive (HDD)". Just as a library is required to handle books in the library, the same computer also needs a similar place in which it can store digital data .  Computers use two types of storage devices to store and process digital content (Document, Image, Videos, Software, Operating system, Program). In which Hard Disk is a secondary memory device. It keeps the data stored permanently. Whereas the primary memory device (RAM) serves to process the program of the computer . It is also called temporary memory. Hard Disk is seen as an important component of a computer because no computer will work without it. In this post we will tell you what is a hard disk in a computer ? In which you will get to know a lot about Hard Disk. So let's first know, what is called a hard disk and then we will talk about other aspects of it. What is hard disk ...

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence When we prepare a computer in such a way that it can act like a human's intelligence, it is called artificial intelligence says that when we set a program in a machine that it can work like human so where does he go to artificial intelligence . To understand AI it is necessary to understand these 6 words Visual Perception Speech Recognition Decision Making Language Translation Knowledge Reasoning Ability According to John Macatha's father of Artificial Intelligence, It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines especially intelligent computer programs.  Artificial Intelligence is a way to build a computer, a computer-controlled robot, or a software intelligence. Things, just as intelligent people think. A.I is studied by the fact that humans how the brain thinks, and how humans learn, decide, and try to solve a problem work, and then the results of this study based on developing intelligent software and system use. The goal of Artific...
