What is Python?

Python is a high-level, interpreted , object-oriented, dynamically-typed programming language.


Python is widely used for web development, Data Science, data analysis, artificial intelligence & Machine
Learning, scientific computing, Web Scrapping and Automation, Game Development, and more.

Key features of Python:


1. Easy to Read and Write: Python has a clean and straightforward syntax, making it accessible to
beginners and efficient for experienced developers.
2. Interpreted Language: Python code is executed line by line, which makes debugging easier and
allows for quick testing and iteration.
3. Dynamic Typing: Variables in Python do not need explicit declaration to reserve memory space, and
the type is determined at runtime.
4. Extensive Libraries and Frameworks: Python has a vast standard library and a wide array of third-
party libraries and frameworks (like Django, Flask, NumPy, pandas) that extend its capabilities.
5. Community Support: Python has a large and active community, which means extensive
documentation, tutorials, and support are readily available.
6. Cross-Platform: Python is available on many platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux), making it a
versatile choice for development.
7. Open Source: Python is free to use and distribute, even for commercial purposes, under the Python
Software Foundation License.
Advantages of Python:
 Easy to learn, read, and understand
 Versatile and open-source
 Improves productivity
 Supports libraries
 Huge library
 Strong community
 Interpreted language
Disadvantages of Python:
 Restrictions in design
 Memory inefficient
 Weak mobile computing
 Runtime errors
 Slow execution speed
History of Python
Python was created in 1980s by Guido van Rossum. During his research at the National Research Institute
for Mathematics and Computer Science in the Netherlands, he created Python – a super easy
programming language in terms of reading and usage. The first ever version was released in the year 1991
which had only a few built-in data types and basic functionality.
Later, when it gained popularity among scientists for numerical computations and data analysis, in 1994,
Python 1.0 was released with extra features like map, lambda, and filter functions. After that adding new
functionalities and releasing newer versions of Python came into fashion.
 Python 1.5 released in 1997
 Python 2.0 released in 2000
 Python 3.0 in 2008 brought newer functionalities
The latest version of Python, Python 3.11 was released in 2022.

What is CMD
CMD, short for Command Prompt, is a command-line interpreter application available in Windows
operating systems. It allows users to execute commands to perform specific tasks without using a graphical
user interface (GUI). CMD provides a text-based interface for interacting with the operating system,
executing scripts, and running batch files.
