2. Python is a high-level, interpreted programming
language known for its readability and simplicity. It is
widely used in various fields such as web development,
data science, artificial intelligence, and more. This
presentation will cover the basics of Python, including its
key features and historical background.
Introduction
4. Python is a versatile, high-level programming language renowned for its
clear syntax and readability. It supports multiple programming paradigms,
including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming.
Python's extensive libraries and frameworks facilitate rapid application
development, making it a preferred choice for beginners and experts alike.
It is dynamically typed and supports interactive coding, which enhances
the learning experience.
What is Python?
5. History of Python
Python was created by Guido van Rossum and first
released in 1991. Its design philosophy emphasizes
code readability and simplicity, which has
contributed to its growing popularity. Named after
the comedy series 'Monty Python's Flying Circus,'
the language has undergone several updates, with
Python 2 and 3 being the most prominent versions.
Python 3, released in 2008, introduced many
features that improved the language's functionality
but also made it incompatible with some Python 2
code, leading to a transitional phase within the
developer community.
6. Python is used in various domains such as web development with
frameworks like Django and Flask, data analysis and visualization
using libraries like Pandas and Matplotlib, artificial intelligence and
machine learning with TensorFlow and Scikit-learn, automation
scripts, game development, and scientific computing. Its versatility
and ease of use make Python a preferred language for startups
and large organizations alike.
Applications of Python
8. Python's syntax is designed to be clean and easy to understand.
Code blocks are defined using indentation rather than braces or
keywords, making it visually distinct. Key aspects of its syntax
include variable assignment, function definitions, and control
flow statements. The use of comments for code documentation is
emphasized, fostering readability and maintainability in
programming practices.
Syntax and Semantics
9. Python supports several built-in data types including integers,
floats, strings, lists, tuples, dictionaries, and sets. Variables are
dynamically typed, meaning that their type is determined at
runtime. This flexibility allows for easy manipulation of different
data types. Understanding and using these data types effectively
is crucial for writing efficient and logical Python code.
Data Types and Variables
10. Control Structures
Control structures in Python include
conditional statements (if, elif, else) and
looping constructs (for and while loops).
These structures are essential for making
decisions and executing repeated tasks in
code. The use of 'break' and 'continue'
statements within loops allows for enhanced
control over execution flow. Mastery of
control structures enables developers to
create dynamic and responsive programs.
11. Python is a powerful, easy-to-learn programming language that
supports a vast range of applications. From web development to
data analysis, its clean syntax and flexibility make it popular
among both beginners and experienced programmers.
Understanding the basics of Python sets the foundation for
further exploration in various exciting fields of programming and
technology.
