Introduction Python features


 Python is a popular programming language.  Easy-to-learn: Python is clearly defined and easily readable. The structure
 It was created by Guido van Rossum, and released in 1991. of the program is very simple. It uses few keywords (predefined words in
 It is case sensitive i.e. it treats upper and lower case differently. Python).
 Python is a general-purpose interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, and Eg:
high-level programming language. When to write “Hello world!”
o Python is interpreted: Python is processed at runtime by the In C language, then code is:
interpreter. It does not need compilation time before execution.
o Python is Interactive: It is easy to learn Python as programmer can
directly interact with the interpreter directly to write your programs.
o Python is Object-Oriented: Python supports Object-Oriented style
or technique of programming that encapsulates code within objects.
o Python is a Beginner's Language: Python is a great language for In Python language is;
the beginner Level programmers and supports the development of a
wide range of applications.
 Easy-to-maintain: Python's source code is fairly easy-to-maintain.
Python program cycle  Portable: Python can run on a wide variety of hardware platforms and has
the same interface on all platforms.
 Interpreted: Python is processed at runtime by the interpreter. So, there is
no need to compile a program before executing it. You can simply run the
program.
 Extensible: Programmers can embed python within their C,C+
+,JavaScript , ActiveX, etc.
 Free and Open Source: Anyone can freely distribute it, read the source
code, and edit it.
 High Level Language: When writing programs, programmers concentrate
on solutions of the current problem, no need to worry about the low level
details.
 Scalable: Python provides a better structure and support for large programs
than shell scripting.
Application of Python 3. Literals
 Literals are data items that have fixed/constant values
 web development (server-side),
 software development,
 mathematics,
 system scripting.

Tokens in Python
 The smallest individual unit in a program is known as Token or lexical unit.
 Python tokens are:
o Keywords
o Identifiers
o Literals
o Operators
o Punctuators
1. Keywords in Python
 These are predefined words with special meaning to the language
compiler or interpreter.
 These are reserved for speacis=al purpose and must not be used as
normal identifier names.
Eg: False, True, del, None, class, in, or, and, etc.
2. Identifiers in Python
 Identifiers are the names given to different parts of the program
viz. variables, object, classes, functions, lists, dictionaries and so
forth.
 The naming rules for Python identifiers can be as follows:
 Names must only be non- keyword word
 There should not be any space
 Name must contain number, alphabets, and underscore (_)
 It cannot begin with number but con contain number

Verified identifiers Invalid Identifiers


Myfile, DATE_7, DATA-REC, 29clct, break,
MYFILE, etc etc
