Introduction Of Python Programming Language

  • A set of predefined instructions in logical manner makes up a program. 
  • One of the most important aspects of computer field is to make ‘Programs’. 
  • A program is written in a computer language, like BASIC, ‘C’, ‘C++’, Python, etc. 
  • A computer language consists of codes which are combined in accordance with a predefined syntax, that conveys the instructions to the components (ALU) of CPU.

Python has evolved into a very useful language as it is simple and is being used in many fields such as in Robotics, Scientific Purposes (Used by NASA), search Engines (Google), YouTube, Hardware Testing (Being used by Intel, Cisco, HP, etc.), GUI Interface (Popularly used in GIMP), 3D Animation (Maya) etc.

Features of Python Programming Language:

  •  The keywords of Python are in simple English.
  • Python library is portable and compatible with all types of Operating System hence it is known as platform independent programming language.
  • Python is an interpreted language i.e. Python interprets and executes the code, line by line. This also makes program of Python, easy to debug.
  • It can be easily integrated with C, C++, Java, etc.
History of Python
Python laid its foundation in the late 1980s.

The implementation of Python was started in the December 1989 by Guido Van Rossum at CWI in Netherland.

In February 1991, van Rossum published the code (labeled version 0.9.0) to alt.sources.

In 1994, Python 1.0 was released with new features like: lambda, map, filter, and reduce.

Python 2.0 added new features like: list comprehensions, garbage collection system.

On December 3, 2008, Python 3.0 (also called "Py3K") was released. It was designed to rectify fundamental flaw of the language.

Python has been released in various versions viz. Python  v0.1.0 (The First Edition), Python v2.7.0, Python v3.5.1. and further.

Python Application ARea:

Python is known for its general purpose nature that makes it applicable in almost each domain of software development. Python as a whole can be used in any sphere of development.

1) Web Applications

2) Desktop GUI Applications

3) Software Development

4) Scientific and Numeric

5) Business Applications

6) Console Based Application

7) Audio or Video based Applications

8) 3D CAD Applications

9) Enterprise Applications

10) Applications for Images

Computer Generations

 Computer Generations   Computers have evolved over time through different generations, each marked by significant technological advancements and changes in design and architecture. These generations are often categorized based on the underlying hardware and the key developments that distinguish one Generation from another. Let's explore the main computer generations: First Generation Computers    The First Generation of computers refers to the initial period of electronic computing, characterized by the use of vacuum tubes as the primary electronic component. This Generation spans the 1940s and 1950s and is marked by groundbreaking developments in computer technology.  Examples of First-Generation Computers:  o ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer): Completed in 1945, ENIAC was one of the first electronic general-purpose computers. It was designed to calculate artillery firing tables for the United States Army during World War ...

Programming in "C"

 Introduction   C is a general-purpose programming language that was developed in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Laboratories. It has since become one of the most widely used programming languages and has influenced the development of many other languages, including C++, Java, and C#. C is known for its efficiency, flexibility, and low-level programming capabilities. It is commonly used for system programming, embedded systems, and developing operating systems. C is also a popular choice for developing applications that require high performance, such as game engines and scientific simulations.   Here are some key features and concepts of C programming:   Syntax: C has a relatively simple syntax compared to some other programming languages. It uses a combination of keywords, variables, data types, operators, and control structures to write programs.  Variables and Data Types: You declare variables to store data in C. Various d...

History of Language "C"

  History of C      The history of C programming dates back to the early 1970s when Dennis Ritchie created it at Bell Laboratories. Here's a brief timeline of the major milestones in the history of C:  1969: The development of C began as a successor to the B programming language, which Ken Thompson created. Dennis Ritchie wanted to improve upon B's capabilities and efficiency.  1972: The C programming language was developed primarily to support the development of the Unix operating system. Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie rewrote Unix in C, which helped in porting the operating system to different computer architectures easily. 1978: The first edition of "The C Programming Language," also known as the "K&R C," was published. Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie wrote it, becoming the authoritative reference for C programming. 1983: The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) formed a committee to establish a standard for the C language. The ...
