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 for it's great compatibility, easy to read syntax, free and open source code, cross-platform compatibility and versatility. As of December 2020 Python ranked third in TIOBE’s index of most popular programming languages, behind C and Java. It's main popularity arises due to it's exercise in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).

Character Case Swapping (PCTS)

 Python Codes The Series -1 ©Photo by wiki commons Not only in Python but also in the day-to-day life, the letters in English alphabets are characterized into two cases viz. upper case and lower case. Our first program will be a general fun program for the beginners. In this program, we will learn to swap the cases of the letters of English alphabets being entered by the user with the help of a few lines of Python code. For example: If the user enters: " hoLa AmIGo" , the python program would convert this string into " HOlA aMigO" . The Program is noted below: string=input("Enter a string :") length=len(string) s='' for i in range(length): if string[i].islower(): s=s+string[i].upper() elif string[i].isupper(): s=s+string[i].lower() else: s=s+string[i] print(s) FOR QUICK REFERENCE: The len() function gives the length of the string and the the input() function takes input from the user. Hope you like i...
