Python Introduction

                                               
What is Python ? 

Introduction : 

I am sure you have already heard about Python. It is a high-level, interpreted programming language created by Guido Van Rossum. Python was developed as a hobby project by Guido Van Rossum in December 1989 which can keep him occupied during the week around Christmas. It was first released in 1991. Yes Python was created before Java. But why is it becoming famous now?
Maybe because of the rising of fields like AI, Machine Learning and Data Science. Definitely Java is more faster language than Python but the syntax of Python is more simpler. It is somewhat like English language. Today Python is used in many different areas like Machine Learning, Data Science, Web development, Game Development, Software development. 

There are 2 versions of Python : Python 2 and Python 3. 
Python 3 is more advanced than Python 2. Python 2 is nearly finished and there is no further official support. Python 2 is on its way to obsolescence. Python 3 is recommending programming language. 

Features of Python :
  • Easy Syntax : The Syntax of Python is the most easiest syntax among all current famous programming language. It is easy to code in Python. It is developed friendly language.
  • Dynamic Language : Python is dynamic language. The variables are decided at run time only. You are not required to declare the variable first before using like other programming language.
  • Interpreted Language : Python is not compiled, it is interpreted language. That is the reason for the slow speed of Python. But it has its own advantage as it is easy to debug the code.
  • Portable : Python is portable language. It can run on any platform whether it is windows, Mac or Linux. 
  • Object Oriented : Python is high level object oriented language. Python supports the concept of class, object, inheritance, encapsulation, etc.
  • Rich Library : Python has a rich library which provides a large set of inbuilt methods and modules which makes programming more easy.
These features of Python has its own advantages and disadvantages also. Python is a modern language and now-a-days most famous companies are using Python like Google, Facebook, Netflix, Uber, etc.
Let me tell you that one of the world's biggest social media platform Instagram is developed in Python-Django(Django is a web development framework in Python). Moreover Python is the current official language of Google alongside Java and C++.  

Python is in demand now-a-days. It is easy to learn python but if you are new in programming world then I would recommend that Python should not be the first language to learn. Before Python you should learn language like C, C++ or Java. But if you know about programming already then Python is the best language to learn next. Currently there are many opportunities in Python programming.

Loops in Python

                            Loops While programming sometimes there are conditions where we need to execute a block of code to execute several times and loops makes this task easy for us. Every programming language supports loops. Generally there are three types of loops i.e. for, while and do-while. But in Python we have only two types of loops while and for. In loops we have a condition and block of code. We execute the code till the condition satisfies. Loops can be used in netsed forms also. While loop :  In while loop we use the while keyword and code block runs till the condition satisfies. syntax - while condition:                  statements E.g. i = 0      while i < 10:         print(i, end = " ")         i += 1          Output : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 In ab...

Python OOPs

  Object Oriented Programming in Python       Python is objected oriented programming. We can use classes and objects in Python. Class can be usderstood as a type of data structure which describes the properties and attributed of the object. Class is the blueprint of object. Object can be understood as the real world entity which has its own behaviour and state and instance of the class. Principles of OOP - Inheritance : In this concept we inherit the properties of one class to another. The class from which we inherit the property is called as parent class and other is child class. By inherit we means that we can use the property of one class to another. No need to write the code again. Polymorphism : Polymorphism means many forms. In this concept we means that we can have multiple functions of same name and can be differentiate on the basis of parameters. Encapsulation : In this concept, we encapsulate the methods and data together in a single unit. In class we...

Regular Expressions

                  Regular Expressions Regular expressions is the sequence of charcaters which are used to search for a pattern in a string. In python we have re module which can be used to perform regular expressions task easily. We need to import this module named re like this -  import re To find the any pattern in the given string we can use search() function which will give us the object and in that object contains the information about that searched patern. It will contain whether the patten has been found or not if yes then it contains the span of that pattern i.e. starting and ending index. Remember that it is case sensitive function.  print(re.search("pattern", "searching pattern in text") ) Output: <re.Match object; span=(10, 17), match='pattern'> Now we can use this object take out relevent information like start() function can be used to find the starting index in string where pattern has been found and end()...
