Introduction

Let’s get started with What is Python straight ahead.

With no fancy ✨🎉words, python is a language used to communicate with computers.

It is considered to be an easier language when compared to other languages like C++, Java, Swift, Kotlin, etc. It is free💯 to use and available to install on its official website.

But if you are confused 🤔 about how exactly python is used to communicate with computers and how it can make your life super easy keep on reading.

A computer is a super 🦹‍♀️powerful device.

It can do unimaginable things in a count of seconds🤯. But, there’s a problem😟it doesn’t have a brain of its own. (Not standing true in the near future cause of AI)

That’s the reason humans give commands to computers. (Till the time)

Earlier 👨‍🔧 in time computers just used to understand 0s and 1s. And giving commands using them was super complicated, time-consuming, and difficult.

To solve this problem programming languages 🦹‍♀️ came into existence.

These were unique languages🎉 that both humans and computers understand. These made the work super-easy and fast🚀.

And like humans, computers use multiple languages🤹‍♀️ to communicate with us.

There are programming languages named after people, those named using simple acronyms, and even a few named after TV📺 shows, like Python.

Yes, the Python programming language was named after Monty Python’s Flying Circus TV📺 show, not after the snake🐍.

What Is Python?

As mentioned earlier it is a programming language used to communicate with computers. It is considered one of the easiest programming languages out there.

In one-line Python is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, and object-oriented programming language.

It is a

• High level – an English-like language,
• General-purpose – Used for multiple purposes like(making web apps, data analytics, etc.)
• Interpreted – The code(set of commands💂‍♂️) you write is executed line by line,
• Object-Oriented – Object-oriented programming is a way of coding in which everything is considered as an object which means in Python everything is an object. (more on this later) However, python also supports procedure-oriented programming.

Hope you got to know what is python. Let’s spice it up by seeing some of the exciting 🤩stuff possible with it. 

Exciting Stuff It Makes Possible

It is a powerful💪 general-purpose 🤹‍♀️language meaning it can be used for next to any purpose

(developing websites and software, task automation, data analysis, data visualization, AI, machine learning, and language development ).

Let us take a look👀 at some of them.

Tasks/Purposes	Libraries
Automate boring stuff📝	NumPy, pandas, and matplotlib
Gaming📟	PyGame
GUIs (graphical user interface)	pyqt5, Tkinter, CutomTkinter
Machine Learning	TensorFlow, Scikit-Learn
Mobile apps	Kivy
Web Development	Django and Flask
Robotics	Raspberry pi
And so on…😥😥
