Python

 What is Python?

      Python is a popular programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum, and released in 1991.

        It is used for:

    Python can be easy to pick up whether you're a first-time programmer or you're experienced with other languages. 

 Open-source

    Python is developed under an OSI-approved open-source license, making it freely usable and distributable, even for commercial use. Python's license is administered by the Python Software Foundation.

What can Python do?

  • Python can be used on a server to create web applications.
  • Python can be used alongside software to create workflows.
  • Python can connect to database systems. It can also read and modify files.
  • Python can be used to handle big data and perform complex mathematics.
  • Python can be used for rapid prototyping, or for production-ready software development.

Why Python?

  • Python works on different platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc).
  • Python has a simple syntax similar to the English language.
  • Python has a syntax that allows developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other programming languages.
  • Python runs on an interpreter system, meaning that code can be executed as soon as it is written. This means that prototyping can be very quick.
  • Python can be treated in a procedural way, an object-oriented way, or a functional way.

print("Hello, World!")                                       

Applications of Python

As mentioned before, Python is one of the most widely used languages on the web. I'm going to list a few of them here:

· Easy-to-learn − Python has few keywords, a simple structure, and a clearly defined syntax. This allows the student to pick up the language quickly.

· Easy-to-read − Python code is more clearly defined and visible to the eyes.

·  Easy-to-maintain − Python's source code is fairly easy-to-maintain.

·A broad standard library − Python's bulk of the library is very portable and cross-platform compatible on UNIX, Windows, and Macintosh.

·Interactive Mode − Python has support for an interactive mode that allows interactive testing and debugging of snippets of code.

· Portable − Python can run on a wide variety of hardware platforms and has the same interface on all platforms.

· Extendable − You can add low-level modules to the Python interpreter. These modules enable programmers to add to or customize their tools to be more efficient.

·Databases − Python provides interfaces to all major commercial databases.

· GUI Programming − Python supports GUI applications that can be created and ported to many system calls, libraries, and windows systems, such as Windows MFC, Macintosh, and the X Window system of Unix.

·Scalable − Python provides a better structure and support for large programs than shell scripting.

What Makes a Blockchain Suitable for Business?

 Instead of having a blockchain that relies on the exchange of cryptocurrencies with anonymous users on a public network (as is the case with bitcoin ), a blockchain for business is a private, permissioned network with known identities and without the need for cryptocurrencies . To further understand how a blockchain for business works, and to appreciate its potential for revolutionizing business networks, you need to understand the four key concepts of blockchain for business These four concepts are explained in this section. Shared ledger they’ve been used in double-entry bookkeeping since the 13th century. What is new is the concept of a shared, distributed ledger — an immutable record of all transactions on the network, a record that all network participants can access. With a shared ledger, transactions are recorded only once, eliminating the duplication of effort that’s typical of traditional business networks Permissions Blockchains can be permissioned or permissionles...

What is Boxing Day

  Boxing Day is a holiday that is celebrated on December 26th in several countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. It is a public holiday that traditionally follows Christmas Day and is often a day off work for many people. The origins of the holiday are not definitively known, but it may have originated as a day for servants and tradespeople to receive gifts from their employers or as a way for the wealthy to give back to the less fortunate. In modern times, Boxing Day is often celebrated with activities such as shopping, sports events, and visiting with friends and family.

25 reasons why Python may be a good choice for your project

Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language, which means it can be used to build almost any type of software, from desktop applications to web apps to scientific applications and more. Python is easy to learn and use, with a simple syntax and a large standard library that supports many common programming tasks. Python is a dynamically-typed language, which means you don't need to specify the type of a variable when you declare it. This makes it easy to get started with Python and can save time when writing code. Python has a large and active community of users and developers, which means there is a wealth of documentation, libraries, and tools available to help you get started with your project. Python has a large number of third-party libraries and frameworks available, which can make it easier to develop complex applications quickly. Python has a number of built-in data types, such as lists, dictionaries, and tuples, which can be used to store and manipulate data...
