Python

What is Python programming language?

Python is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted programming language.

1) High-level

Python is a high-level programming language that is easy to learn. It doesn’t require you to understand the details of the computer to develop programs efficiently.

2) General-purpose

Python is a general-purpose language. It means that you can use Python in various domains, including:

• Web applications

• Big data applications

• Testing

• Automation

• Data science, machine learning, and AI

• Desktop software

• Mobile apps

3) Interpreted

Python is an interpreted language. To develop a Python program, you write Python code into a file called source code.

To execute the source code, you must convert it to a machine language the computer can understand. The Python interpreter turns the source code, line by line, once at a time, into the machine code when the Python program executes.

Compiled languages like Java and C# use a compiler that compiles the whole source code before the program executes.
