AND

IT’S

WHAT IS PYTHON? At present, Python is the most popular programming language. Python is being used very much in the industry. Python is an object-oriented and open-source programming language. Here, open-source means anyone can make changes in the code of the Python for improvement. The code of Python has been shared openly and anyone can download it easily. The Python programming language was developed in the year 1980. The developer of the Python language is Guido Van Rossum. Python uses an interpreter instead of the compiler. Interpreter checks errors line by line and will show the output of the program up to correct lines of code.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PYTHON Here are some characteristics of the Python programming language. They are listed below--> ● Python is an interpreted language. The interpreter makes debugging easier which is beneficial for the beginners. ● Python is a platform-independent programming language. The code of the Python can run on all operating systems. ● It is open-source language as well as easy to download. ● Python is an extensible language which means that the code of different languages like C and C++ can also be used for compiling the code. ● Python has a huge library that has wide applications. ● Python programming language supports a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

This means that GUI applications can be made with the help of Python. ● Python is an expressive language. This is so because the code of the Python is very easy to read and understand.

WHO USE PYTHON?

As said above, the Python programming language is being used very much in the industry. The question arises is who is using Python? Here are the names of some platforms and organizations which are using Python. They are listed below--> ● Mozilla Firefox runs on the Python. The code of the Mozilla Firefox is written in the Python. More than twenty-three thousand lines of code are written. ● Google shares the Python training of itself. ● Microsoft is also using the Python programming language in its visual studio and IDE code. ● Netflix works on the Python programming language along with the data science technology. ● Uber eats uses the IPython and the Jupyter notebook for sharing its data.

Jupyter is the editor of the Python programming language. ● Reddit is also working on the Python programming language. Its Python code is shared on the GitHub. ● Along with this, financial organizations such as CapitalOne, JPMorgan and Bloomberg are working on the Python programming language.

WHY SHOULD WE USE PYTHON? The Python programming language has changed a lot in the last 25 years. Many new features are introduced in the Python language. The organizations prefer the Python programming language because the developer has to write less lines of code. This is so because the Python language has many different inbuilt functions. It has been said that 14% of the people use Python language on operating systems like Unix, Windows, Linux, Mac Os, etc. The Python programming language is also used widely in data science technology.
