Opening Python

How to get started with the default CPython distribution

Step 1: Download and install the python(3.x) from the provided link:

https://www.python.org/downloads/

Step 2: Click on windows logo to open the start menu.

Step 3: Now from there in Python(3.x) folder, click on Python idle.

You can see a window of Python(3.x) idle pops up.

Note: There are two modes of working in Python(3.x) idle:

1. Interactive mode: Here, you don’t have to save any python file unnecessarily in order to run it. The user can type the code directly in the idle and the output of the code would be given instantly.

2. Script mode: In script mode, the whole program is written using a number of codes and then saved in an appropriate file which is then run. Here, at last the program generally gets converted into an ‘.exe’ file.

Step I: Move your cursor to the top left corner of the idle box, there click on the File option, a drop down menu opens up. There click on New File option.

A new python file will open up in a separate window.

Step II: After then, we should rename the file and save it. If you want you can even do this step at last. For this, move your cursor to the top left corner of the box and click on File menu, a dropdown menu will popup. In the dropdown menu, click on the Save option. Give a name and add .py extension at the end and then save it.

Step III: After that, write the code of the program you want to make and then press Ctrl + S so as to save the code.

Step IV: Then click, on the Run menu and then select Run module or simply click F5 so as to run the code.

The End

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...

For Loops

The for loop By polygraphus on shutterstock Def: The for loop is also known as the counting loop and is designed to process the items of any sequence, such as a list or a string, one by one. General form of for loop: The general form of the for loop is given below: for <variable> in <sequence>: statements to repeat

Type-Casting And Dynamic-Typing

Python is equipped with some of the amazing and easy to use methods which are already built-in keeping the ease of understanding and fun-to-learn. Some of these amazing properties are going to be discussed today in the blog. Type-Casting Typecasting is one of the simple topics of Python which which is very much easy to understand yet is very efficient in the day-to-day lives of Python programmers. Def: The explicit conversion of an operand to a specific type is called typecasting. Explicit conversion refers to the type of conversion of datatype into which the user wants to change his or her expression into. Note that these types of conversion are user defined. Typecasting in Python can be explained as follows: <datatype> (expression) where <datatype> refers to the datatype into which the user wants to type-cast. Example: When we use input() function, Python alwa...
