Why Python
JAVA :

System.out.println("Hello World"); }}
Python:

APPLICATIONS OF PYTHON
Subtraction
Subtraction is denoted by
“-”
sign. It gives the difference between two numbers.
Multiplication
Multiplication is denoted by “*” sign
Division
Division is denoted by “/”sign.
Variables and Data Types
Variables : Variables are like containers for storing values. Values in the variables can be
changed.
Values
Consider that variables are like containers for storing information. In context of
programming, this information is often referred to as value.
Data Type
In programming languages, every value or data has an associated type to it known as data
type.
Some commonly used data types
• String
• Integer
• Float
• Boolean
This data type determines how the value or data can be used in the program. For example, mathematical
operations can be done on Integer and Float types of data.
String
A String is a stream of characters enclosed within quotes. Stream of Characters
• Capital Letters ( A – Z )
• Small Letters ( a – z )
• Digits ( 0 – 9 )
• Special Characters (~ ! @ # $ % ^ . ?,)
• Space
Integer
All whole numbers (positive, negative and zero) without any fractional part come under Integers.
Float
Any number with a decimal point
24.3, 345.210, -321.86
Boolean
In a general sense, anything that can take one of two possible values is considered a Boolean. Examples
include the data that can take values like
• True or False
• Yes or No
• 0 or 1
• On or Off
As per the Python Syntax,
Trueand False are considered as Boolean values. Notice that both start with a capital letter.
