Study Notes
Python Features
- Python is a user-friendly programming language with a clear syntax that's easy to learn.
- Python code is executed line by line without needing to be compiled first.
- Python doesn't require you to define variable types explicitly.
- Python has a comprehensive standard library that includes many modules for common tasks such as string operations, web services, operating system, and network protocols.
- Python is compatible with various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux without code modifications.
- Python can be used for both object-oriented and procedural programming.
- Python allows extending its capabilities with code written in C or C++ for versatility.
- Python is a high-level language; it hides complex system details, allowing developers to focus on problem-solving.
- Python has a strong and active community that contributes many resources, libraries, frameworks, and documentation.
- Python is open-source software meaning it can be used and distributed freely, even for commercial purposes.
- Python includes many frameworks and tools for web development (Django, Flask), data analysis (Pandas, NumPy), and machine learning (TensorFlow, PyTorch).
- Python can integrate seamlessly with other programming languages and technologies including C, C++, Java, .NET, web services, and data formats like JSON and XML.
Working Modes
- Python offers different working modes to suit various development workflows, from quick testing to large-scale applications.
-
Interactive Mode:
- Also known as Python Shell or REPL.
- Interactive Mode is a command-line environment for executing Python code line-by-line.
- Useful for rapid testing, learning Python, or experimenting with small code sections.
- Code is evaluated instantly and results are displayed to the user.
- Convenient for debugging and checking the behavior of small code snippets.
- Start by opening a terminal and typing
pythonorpython3. - You enter a shell where you can write Python commands and see their results.
-
Advantages:
- Immediate feedback for every line of code.
- Excellent for testing small code snippets and learning Python.
- No requirement for creating or saving files.
- Disadvantages: - Not suitable for large programs or projects. - Code is not saved and is lost when exiting the session unless copied elsewhere.
