Introduction to Python

Python is a high-level, general-purpose, and interpreted programming language. It is widely used in data science, web development, automation, and artificial intelligence.

  • Simple and Easy to Learn: Python has a clean and readable syntax that mimics the English language.
  • Versatile: From building websites to analyzing complex data, Python can do it all.
  • Huge Community: A large and active community means plenty of libraries, frameworks, and support.
  • Interpreted: Code is executed line by line, making debugging easier.
  • Dynamically Typed: You don’t need to declare variable types.
  • Platform Independent: Run your code on Windows, macOS, or Linux without changes.
  • Extensive Libraries: Access thousands of pre-built modules like NumPy, Pandas, and Django.

To check if Python is installed on your system, run:

Terminal window
python --version

Create a file named hello.py and add:

print("Hello, Zavont!")

Run it with:

Terminal window
python hello.py
