Intro to Programming with Python

Software is a set of instructions to the hardware.

Programming

Programming means writing the instructions to create a software.

Code

The instructions that we write to create software is called Code.

Syntax

These rules are called the Syntax of a Programming Language.

Why Python

Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. With Python, it is possible to create
programs with minimal amount of code. Look at the code in Java and Python used for printing the
message "Hello World"

Java:
JAVA

1 class Main {
2 public static void main(String[] args) {
3 System.out.println("Hello World");
4 }

Output

If we want to print the exact message "2 + 5", then we add the quotes.

Code
PYTHON

1 print("2 + 5")

Output

2 + 5
