What is Python?
Python is a popular programming language created by Guido van Rossum and released in 1991.
It is used for:
- Web development (server-side)
- Software development
- Mathematics and data analysis
- System scripting and automation
Why Python?
- Works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi).
- Has a simple syntax similar to the English language.
- Lets you write programs with fewer lines than many other languages.
- Runs on an interpreter system — code can be executed as soon as it is written.
