INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON

#python

What is python?
Python is general purpose high level programing language.

Who created python?
GUIDO VAN ROSSUM create python. He started developing python in 1989, and the FIRST PUBLIC RELEUSE came in 1991.

  1. Python is multiple paradigm programing language.

  2. Types of multi-paradigm:

Type: Meaning:

  1. Object-Oriented - Program using objects and classes
  2. Procedural - Program written step by step
  3. Functional - Program using functions
  4. Structured - Program written in an organized way
  5. Reflective - Program can check itself

USES OF PYTHON:
TYPES:

  1. Wep Application:
    A web application is a software program that runs on a remote server and is accessed through a web browser over the internet. Unlike traditional desktop applications, it doesn’t require installation — users simply open a browser like Chrome, Safari, or Firefox and interact with the app online.

  2. Mobile Application:
    A mobile application (or mobile app) is a type of software application specifically designed to run on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Unlike web applications that run in web browsers or desktop applications used on desktop computers, mobile apps are tailored to the unique capabilities and constraints of mobile devices.

  3. GAMES:
    Python, a game is simply a program that uses Python code to create interactive entertainment — usually involving graphics, sound, and user input.

  4. DATABASE(DB):

In Python, "DB" typically refers to database management and interaction, allowing developers to connect to, query, and manipulate data in various database systems.

What is a Database?

A database is an organized collection of data that can be easily accessed, managed, and updated. In Python, databases can be categorized into two main types:

Relational Databases (RDBMS):

These store data in structured tables with rows and columns, supporting relationships between data entities. Examples include MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

Non-relational Databases (NoSQL):
These store data in various formats such as documents, key-value pairs, or graphs, offering more flexibility. Examples include MongoDB and Redis

  1. DATA ANALYSIS AND DATA SCIENCE:

DA stands for Data Analyst, focusing on analyzing and visualizing data, while DS stands for Data Scientist, specializing in advanced analytics, predictive modeling, and machine learning.

  1. INTERNET OF THINGS:

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical devices embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity that allows them to collect, exchange, and act on data autonomously.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE(AI):

AI (Artificial Intelligence) in Python means using Python programming language to create smart programs that can think, learn, and make decisions like humans.

AI = making computers intelligent
Python = a programming language used to build AI applications
