Python Fundamentals

Abstract

Python is a scripted, interpreted programming language. In Python, we write a script that is interpreted by an interpreter. Python was created in the 90s, the name of the language comes from the series "Monty Python’s Flying Circus". Python is a free high-level programming language with open source code and an extensive standard library package. Its main idea is the clarity and readability of the code. Python supports various programming paradigms, such as object-oriented, imperative, and functional. It has a dynamic file system and automatic memory management. Python is an easy-to-use language due to the use of keywords similar to words in English, and the programs written in it are shorter than their equivalent created in C++ or Java. Programs written in Python are platform-independent, work equally well on portable devices, home computers (regardless of what operating system we have) or supercomputers (...).
