Basics of Python - 1

 Data types in Python Datatypes are the attributes or  group of specific characters in computer science which tells the compiler or the interpreter about the type of data in which the user want a specific character to be used. Whenever a specific datatype is mentioned by the user, the compiler or the interpreter converts the data to the specific type to be read by the computer. It plays a very vital role in the conversation between the computer and the programmer and without having sufficient types of data it would be really confusing to program any code at all.   The built-in core datatypes provided in Python are: String Numbers List Tuple Dictionary String A string datatype literally holds the actual string data (which may be letters, numbers or special symbols) inside "" or inside '' ,i.e. inside double or single quotation marks. For example: All the following strings are legal and acceptable in Python: "Hello","Holla",'I am great.'...

Our view towards Python (as a programming language)

  Python - The language of the future Introduction When we hear the term programming language, we usually talk about high-level programming language which are those programming language having a lucid (or easy-to-read) syntax and are later converted to low-level language (binary) , which is understandable by the computer.  Programming language has always been an area of interest over the passing years since the very early days of ' Fortran ' (created by John Backus at  IBM ). To this day, dozens of programming language has been created by different 'Computer Scientists' around the world. What is Python? What is Python? Many of you will describe a large scary snake 🐍, which isn't actually wrong 😅. But here we are talking about a programming language. Similarly, Python is also a high-level and interepreted programming language created by  Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s . It was first released in 1991 as a successor to ABC Programming language . It known fo...
