Chapter - 1

Getting Started
with Python
Introduction

Program Set of instructions written in a sequence to perform a


particular task.

The process of writing a program is programming.

A programming language is set of grammatical rules for instructing a


computer or computing device to perform specific tasks.

e.g. C, C++, COBOL, Java, FORTRAN, Python


Python Programming
Language
Python is easy, simple and highly flexible.

It is a high level programming language developed


by Guido van Rossum in 1991 at National Research
Institute for Mathematics, Netherlands.

It is presently owned by Python software


Foundation (PSF).
Features of Python

1. Python is an interpreted, interactive,


directly executed language.

2. It is free open-source software having large


repository of libraries.

3. It is extensible and highly efficient as there


is no wastage of time in declaring variables.
Advantages of Python

1. Platform independent – It can run across


different platforms like windows, Linux, Mac OS and
other OS.

2. Easy to use (Readability) – It uses simple,


concise and English like instructions that are easy to
read and understand.

3. High Productivity – It is a simple language with


small codes and extensive libraries. Therefore it
offers higher productivity to programmers as
compared to C++ and java.
Advantages of Python

4. Less learning time– Because of simple and


shorter code, lesser time is required to understand
and learn python.

5. Syntax highlighting – It allows to distinguish


between input, output and error message by
different colour codes.

6. Interpreted language – Code execution &


interpretation line by line.
Two modes to interact with
Python
Type the following at prompt
print(“hello”)
print(8*3)
print(3**3)
k=3+4*3
print(k)
print (“hello”)
print (“Welcome to Python Programming)
EXITING PYTHON

If exit() or quit() does not work, type the following


command
Exercise:

A) Print as follows using only one print statement:


1. I#love#my#India#
2. apple*grapes*bananas*pears&
3. apple grapes bananas pears^$#
4. I
love
India!!!

B) Predict the output:


5. print(3*4+5)
6. print(“apple”,”bananas”,sep=“\t”,end=‘!’)
7. print(“apple”,”bananas”,sep=“123”,end=‘\n’)
8. PRINT(“mangoes”,pears”,sep=“$”,end=‘#’)
