Getting Started With Python.pdf
- 4. Advantages of Python are as follows: 1 Platform- independent 2 Readability 3 Object- oriented Language 5 Less Learning Time 6 GUI Programming 7 Ample Availability of Libraries Higher Productivity 4 8 Syntax Highlighting
- 5. ❏ Platform-independent: Python is a platform-independent and can run across different platforms like Windows, Linux, Mac OS and other operating systems. Thus, we can say that python is a portable language.
- 6. ❏ Readability: Python programs use clear, simple, concise and English-like instructions that are easy to read and understand even by non-programmers or people with no substantial programming background.
- 7. ❏ Object-oriented Language: It is an interactive, interpreted and Object-oriented Programming Language.
- 8. ❏ Higher Productivity: Since Python is a simple language with small codes and extensive libraries, it offers higher productivity to programmers as compared to languages like C++ and Java. So, you write less and get more done.
- 9. ❏ Less Learning Time: Because of a simple and shorter code, less time is required to understand and learn Python programming.
- 10. ❏ GUI Programming: Python supports GUI(Graphical User Interface) applications that can be created and ported to many system calls, libraries and window systems such as Windows MFC(Microsoft Foundation Class Library), Macintosh and the X Window system of UNIX or UNICS(UNIplexed Information Computing System).
- 11. ❏ Ample Availability of Libraries: It provides large standard libraries with numerous built-in modules to solve a task.
- 12. ❏ Syntax Highlighting: It allows to distinguish between input, output and error messages by different color codes.
- 14. 01 Speed 02 Mobile Development 03 Database Access 04 Memory Consumption 05 Runtime Errors
- 15. ❖ Speed: Python is slower than than C or C++. But, ofcourse, Python is a high level language unlike C or C++, it is not closer to hardware.
- 16. ❖ Mobile Development: Python is not a very good language for mobile development. It is seen as a weak language for mobile computing . This is the reason very few mobile applications are built in it.
- 17. ❖ Memory Consumption: Python is not a good choice for memory - intensive tasks. Due to the flexibility of data types Python memory consumption is also high .
- 18. ❖ Database Access : Python has its limitations with database access. As compared to popular technologies like JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) and ODBC (Open Database Connectivity), Python database access layer is found to be a bit underdeveloped and primitive . However, it cannot be applied in the enterprises that need smooth interaction of complex legacy data.
- 19. ❖ Runtime Errors: Python programmers have cited several issues with the design of the language . Since the language is dynamically typed , it requires more testing and has error that only show up at runtime .
