WHAT IS

PYTHON
STUDENT NAME : WALEED ALGHAMDI
KAU ID : 2439233
INTRODUCTION

ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY USED PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES


WORLDWIDE, PYTHON, HAS BEEN USED TO DEVELOP EVERYTHING FROM THE
SOFTWARE THAT DRIVES SELF-DRIVING VEHICLES TO NETFLIX'S
RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM. SINCE PYTHON IS A GENERAL-PURPOSE
LANGUAGE, IT MAY BE USED FOR A WIDE RANGE OF TASKS, SUCH AS
AUTOMATING PROCESSES, DATA SCIENCE, SOFTWARE AND WEB
DEVELOPMENT, AND GENERAL TASK COMPLETION.

LET'S EXAMINE PYTHON'S DEFINITION, CAPABILITIES, AND LEARNING PATHS


IN MORE DETAIL.
WHAT IS PYTHON USED FOR?

PYTHON IS FREQUENTLY USED FOR DATA ANALYSIS, DATA VISUALIZATION,


TASK AUTOMATION, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOFTWARE AND WEBSITES.
PYTHON IS WIDELY USED BY NON-PROGRAMMERS, INCLUDING SCIENTISTS
AND ACCOUNTANTS, FOR A RANGE OF DAILY CHORES, INCLUDING
MANAGING FINANCES, DUE TO ITS EASE OF LEARNING. “WRITING
PROGRAMS IS A VERY CREATIVE AND REWARDING ACTIVITY,” SAYS
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN AND COURSERA INSTRUCTOR CHARLES R
SEVERANCE IN HIS BOOK PYTHON FOR EVERYBODY. “YOU CAN WRITE
PROGRAMS FOR MANY REASONS, RANGING FROM MAKING YOUR LIVING
TO SOLVING A DIFFICULT DATA ANALYSIS PROBLEM TO HAVING FUN TO
HELPING SOMEONE ELSE SOLVE A PROBLEM.”

SIMPLICITY AND READABILITY

Python's readability and simplicity are two of its key features. The
language's straightforward and simple grammar was intended to
favor human readability. This facilitates faster code writing and
easier code maintenance over time for developers. Python's code
is more approachable for beginners because it is similar to plain
English. For instance, Python requires less lines of code to
manage complicated data structures and operations than
languages like Java or C++. But one disadvantage of this
simplicity is that, particularly in applications where performance is
crucial, Python's performance might be slower than that of lower-
level languages.
LIMITATIONS AND CHALLENGES

Python has many drawbacks in spite of all of its benefits. Its slower
execution speed when compared to compiled languages like C++
or Java is one of the main disadvantages. Python is an interpreted
language, which means that instructions are carried out line by
line. This can lead to poorer performance, particularly for jobs
requiring a lot of CPU power. Furthermore, dynamic typing in
Python might result in increased memory use and wasteful
memory usage in certain applications. Although Python is a
fantastic language for development and experimentation, it might
not always be the ideal option for tasks requiring minimal memory
consumption and fast performance, such real-time systems or
mobile applications.
CONCLUSION

Python has made a name for itself as a strong, flexible, and


approachable language with a wide range of applications. Though
many developers find it appealing because to its ease of use,
extensive library, and vibrant community, it is not without its
drawbacks, especially when it comes to speed and performance
under specific conditions. In spite of these shortcomings, Python's
adaptability and simplicity of use guarantee its enduring appeal
and significance in the quickly changing field of technology.
