Python is a general-purpose programming language that can be used for both programming and scripting. It was created in the late 1980s by Guido van Rossum and named after the British comedy group Monty Python. Python is commonly used for web development, game development, scientific computing, AI and machine learning, software development, and business applications due to its large standard library, readability, and ability to integrate with other languages.

A "program" in general, is a A "script" is code written in


sequence of instructions a scripting language. A
written so that a computer scripting language is nothing
can perform certain task. but a type of programming
language in which we can
