🔹 Why Python?
• Simple and beginner-friendly — syntax looks like English.
• Works on any operating system (Windows, Linux, macOS).
• Huge libraries and frameworks for AI, Web Development, Data Science, and Automation.
• Free, open-source, and backed by a strong global community.
📌 Key Features of Python
1. Easy to Learn and Readable
• Simple and clean syntax.
• Requires less code compared to C or Java.
Example:
print("Hello, World!")
2. Interpreted and Dynamically Typed
• No need for compilation — executes line by line.
• Variables don’t need explicit type declarations.
Example:
x = 10 # integer
x = "Python" # now string
print(x)
3. Cross-Platform (Portable)
• The same code runs on Windows, Linux, or macOS.
Example:
print("Runs everywhere!")
4. Rich Libraries and Frameworks
• Data: NumPy, Pandas
• AI/ML: TensorFlow, PyTorch
• Web: Flask, Django
Example:
import requests
res = requests.get("https://www.google.com")
print(res.status_code) # 200 means OK
5. Supports Multiple Paradigms (OOP, Functional, Procedural)
Example:
class Dog:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
def bark(self):
print(self.name + " says Woof!")
d = Dog("Buddy")
d.bark()
6. Automatic Memory Management
• No need for manual memory handling like malloc or free.
Example:
data = [1, 2, 3]
del data # Python cleans memory automatically
7. Extensible and Embeddable
• Python can be combined with C, C++, or Java.
8. Parallel Execution (Multiprocessing / Threading)
Example:
from multiprocessing import Process
def task():
print("Running in parallel!")
p = Process(target=task)
p.start()
p.join()
9. Strong Community
• Supported by forums like Stack Overflow, GitHub, and Python.org.
• Easy to find tutorials and documentation.
10. Open Source and Free
• No license fees.
• Free for both personal and commercial use.
