PURV INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL CLASS XI SUBJECT - COMPUTER SCIENCE CHAPTER 5- GETTING STARTED WITH PYTHON PREPARED BY BEAUTY MAZUMDAR1.1 Introduction: > General-purpose Object Oriented Programming language. > High-level language >» Developed in late 1980 by Guido van Rossum at National Research Institute for Mathematics and Computer Science in the Netherlands. It is derived from programming languages such as ABC, Modula 3, small talk, Algol- 68, It is Open Source Scripting language. It is Case-sensitive language (Difference between uppercase and lowercase letters). One of the official languages at Google. vv ¥ 1.2 Characteristics of Python: ¥ Interpreted: Python source code is compiled to byte code as a .pye file, and this byte code can be interpreted by the interpreter. ¥ Interactive ¥ Object Oriented Programming Language ¥ Easy & Simple ¥ Portable Y Scalable: Provides improved structure for supporting large programs. ¥ Integrated ~ Expressive Language 1.3 Python Interpreter: Names of some Python interpreters are: ® PyCharm * Python IDLE "= The Python Bundle * pyGUI = Sublime Text etc. ‘There are two modes to use the python interpreter: i. Interactive Mode ii, Script Modei, Interactive Mode: Without passing python script file to the interpreter, directly execute code to Python (Command linc). Example >>>6t3 Output: 9 Ba Note: >>> is a command the python interpreter uses to indicate that it is ready, The interactive mode is better when a programmer deals with small pieces of code. To run a python file on command line: exec{open("C:\Python33\python programs\program| py”)-read( )) ii, Script Mode: In this mode source code is stored in a file with the .py extension and use the interpreter to execute the contents of the file. To execute the script by the interpreter, you have to tell the interpreter the name of the file. Example: if you have a file name Demo,py , to run the script you have to follow the following SIC] Step-1: Open the text editor i.e. Notepad Step-2: Write the python code and save the file with .py file extension, (Default directory is C:\Python33/Demo.py) Step-3: Open IDLE ( Python GUI) python shell Step-4: Click on file menu and select the open option Step-5: Select the existing python file Step-6: Now a window of python file will be opened Click on Run menu and the option Run Module,Step-8: Output will be displayed on python shell window.
