What is a Programming Language?

● Computer programming languages allow us to give instructions to a


computer in a language the computer understands.
● The portion of the language that a computer can understand is called
a “binary.”
● Translating programming language into binary is known as
“compiling.”
Importance of Programming in Engineering
What is Python?

● Python is an interpreted programming language.


● Python is currently the most widely used general-purpose, multi-
purpose, high-level programming language.
● Python allows programming in Object-Oriented and Procedural
paradigms.
● Python language is being used by almost all tech-giant companies like –
Google, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Uber… etc.
● The biggest strength of Python is its huge collection of the standard library
History of Python.
● It was created by Guido van Rossum in 1991 and further
developed by the Python Software Foundation.
● The inspiration for the name came from BBC’s TV Show – ‘Monty
Python’s Flying Circus’, as he was a big fan of the TV show and
also he wanted a short, unique and slightly mysterious name for his
invention and hence he named it Python!
Why Python?

● Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry


Pi, etc).
● Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language.
● Python has a syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer
lines than some other programming languages.
● Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object-oriented way,
or a functional way.
Python in Action
Framework, Library, Package, Module

● Collections of prewritten code that users can use to optimize


tasks.
● It is work that was previously done by someone else that you
can now make use of, without having to do it yourself.
