Day 45 *Final*

Why Python?

  1. Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc).
  2. Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language.
  3. Python has syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other programming languages.
  4. Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it is written. This means that prototyping can be very quick.
  5. Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object-oriented way or a functional way.

Good to know

  1. The most recent major version of Python is Python 3, which we shall be using in this tutorial. However, Python 2, although not being updated with anything other than security updates, is still quite popular.
  2. In this tutorial Python will be written in a text editor. It is possible to write Python in an Integrated Development Environment, such as Thonny, Pycharm, Netbeans or Eclipse which are particularly useful when managing larger collections of Python files.
