 OVERVIEW

1. Introduction to Python
1.1 What is Python?

It is a programming language.
Created in 1991 by Dutch programmer Guido Van Rossum.
It aims to limit code blocks and less busy appearance.
It can be placed as a fourth-generation programming language.

1. Introduction to Python
1.1 What is Python?

First Generation Language : Machine languages. It is

machine-dependent and written in binary code (0/1 form).
Second Generation Language : Assembly languages. It is
human-readable and it can be converted to machine language using
an assembler.
Third Generation Language : Procedural language. Examples of
this type of language are C, PASCAL, FORTRAN, COBOL, etc.
Fourth Generation Language : Non – procedural language. It
enables users to access the database. Examples: SQL, Foxpro, Focus,
etc.
Fifth Generation Language : 5GL. It is based on the concept of
artificial intelligence.Example: PROLOG, LISP, etc.

2. Jupyter Notebook: How to Use?

2.1 What is Jupyter Notebook?

The Jupyter Notebook is an open source web application that you

can use to create and share documents that contain live code,
equations, visualizations, and text.
"Jupyter" is a loose acronym meaning Julia, Python and R, but today,
the notebook technology supports many programming languages.
A notebook integrates code and its output into a single document
that combines visualizations, narrative text, mathematical equations,
and other rich media.
Jupyter Notebooks are completely free and open source
