Python is a powerful, high-level, interpreted programming language known for its clean syntax and ease of learning. It was created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991. Python emphasizes code readability, allowing developers to express concepts in fewer lines of code compared to other languages like C++ or Java.
Python supports multiple programming paradigms, including:
Procedural programming
Object-oriented programming (OOP)
Functional programming
It has a vast standard library and a rich ecosystem of third-party packages, making it suitable for a wide range of applications:
Web development
Data analysis and machine learning
Automation and scripting
Scientific computing
Game development
Cybersecurity
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Python is cross-platform, meaning it runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and more
