and write code in. This makes it a fantastic programming language for novices.
Additionally, it assists seasoned programmers in writing clear and error-free code.
Python has many third-party libraries that can be used to make its functionality
easier. These libraries cover many domains, for example, web development,
scientific computing, data analysis, and more.
Here are some basic programs that illustrates key differences between them.
print("Hello World!")
Output:
Advertisement
Hello, World!
In Python, it is one line of code. It requires simple syntax to print 'Hello World'
Java Code:
Hello, World!
In Java, we need to declare classes, method structures many other things.
While both programs give the same output, we can notice the syntax difference in
the print statement.
In Python, it is easy to learn and write code. While in Java, it requires more code
to perform certain tasks.
Python is dynamically typed, meaning we do not need to declare the variable Whereas
Java is statistically typed, meaning we need to declare the variable type.
Python is suitable for various domains such as Data Science, Machine Learning, Web
development, and more. Whereas Java is suitable for web development, mobile app
development (Android), and more.
Python Basic Syntax
There is no use of curly braces or semicolons in Python programming language. It is
an English-like language. But Python uses indentation to define a block of code.
Indentation is nothing but adding whitespace before the statement when it is
needed.
For example -
Advertisement
def func():
statement 1
statement 2
…………………
…………………
statement N
In the above example, the statements that are the same level to the right belong to
the function. Generally, we can use four whitespaces to define indentation.
Instead of Semicolon as used in other languages, Python ends its statements with a
NewLine character.
