Understanding Python

Python is an interpreted high-level and general-purpose programming language with a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. The official home of the Python programming language is https://www.python.org/. The popularity of Python has risen steadily over the past decade. This is because Python is a very important programming language in some of today's most exciting and challenging technologies. Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, neural networks, deep learning, Internet of Things (IoT), and robotics (among others) rely on Python.

Here are some advantages of Python:

  • Python is considered a perfect language for scientific computing, mainly for four reasons:
    • It is very easy to understand.
    • It has support (via packages) for scientific computing.
    • It removes many of the complexities other programming languages have.
    • It has a simple...
