Computing is the use of electronic devices to process data and solve problems.

Giving instructions to a computer to perform tasks.

A programming language that's easy to learn and use for many tasks.

A programming language that executes instructions directly without compilation.

The steps a computer takes to process information (Input, Process, Output, Storage, Communication).

Raw facts and figures.

Data that has been organized and processed to be useful.

An electronic programmable device used for storing, retrieving, and processing data.

Software where the source code is freely available for anyone to use, modify, and distribute.

The rules and structures for writing Python code, emphasizing readability and simplicity.

Python can be used for various applications like web development, data analysis, machine learning, and automation.

Pre-written code modules offering ready-to-use features to save time and effort during development.

Indentation is used to define code blocks, making it clear how code is organized and structured.

Two major versions of Python with key differences in features and syntax.

NumPy and Pandas are libraries for numerical computing and data manipulation, respectively.

TensorFlow and PyTorch are popular libraries used for building and training machine learning models.

Python is an open-source language, allowing for a large community of developers to freely contribute and continuously improve the language.

Python code can run on various operating systems like Windows, Mac, Linux, and Raspberry Pi.

Python's syntax is designed to be easy to read and understand, resembling natural English.

Python uses an interpreter, which executes code line by line as it is written, making prototyping faster.

Python supports different programming styles like procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming, providing flexibility to developers.

Python emphasizes clear and readable code through its clean syntax and use of whitespace.

Python's design allows for easy integration with other languages and extensive library support, expanding its capabilities.

Guido van Rossum, known as the "Benevolent Dictator For Life," shaped Python's design and fostered its community.

Different categories of data that Python handles, like numbers, text, and truth values.

These include integers (whole numbers), floats (decimal numbers), and complex numbers.

Text data in Python, enclosed in quotes, and can contain letters, numbers, and special characters.

Represents truth values: True or False.

An ordered collection of items, allowing storage of different data types within the same list.

Creating a reusable block of code with the 'def' keyword.

Storing a value in a variable using the '=' operator.

An integrated development environment (IDE) for Python that's beginner-friendly and included in every Python installation.

A programming language feature where the type of a variable is determined during execution, not beforehand.

Python code is written using clear, concise syntax that resembles everyday English, making it easy to understand and debug.

IDLE is a basic Python development environment that's simple to use, includes essential tools like a debugger, and is good for beginners.

IDLE lacks advanced features like code completion and plugin support, and it can be slow for larger projects.

The anticipated next major version of Python, expected to bring significant performance improvements and new features.

Python libraries are being developed to support quantum computing tasks, opening up new possibilities in scientific computing.

Python is playing an increasingly important role in the development of IoT and edge computing applications, enabling distributed computing.

Efforts are underway to make Python more energy-efficient for large-scale applications, aligning with sustainability objectives.
