• To communicate with digital machines and make them

work accordingly
• Today in the programming world , we have more than 900

programming languages available.
• And every language is designed to fulfill a particular kind

of requirement
Brief History Of Prog. Lang
 C language was primarily designed to develop “System

Softwares” like Operating Systems, Device Drivers etc .
 To remove security problems with “C” language , C++

language was designed.
 It is an Object Oriented Language which provides data

security and can be used to solve real world problems.
 Many popular softwares like Adobe Acrobat , Winamp

Media Player,Internet Explorer,MS Office etc were
designed in C++

What is Python ?
 Python is a general purpose and powerful programming

language.
 Python is considered as one of the most versatile

programming language as it can be used to develop almost
any kind of application including :
 desktop applications
 web applications
 IoT applications
 AI , ML and Data Science applications
 and many more . . .
Who created Python ?
 Developed by Guido van

Rossum , a Dutch scientist
 Created at Center For

Mathematics and Research ,
Netherland
 It is inspired by another
programming language called
ABC
Why was Python created ?
 Guido started Python

development as a hobby in 1989
 But since then it has grown to

become one of the most
polished languages of the
computing world.
How Python got it’s name?
 The name Python is inspired

from Guido’s favorite Comedy
TV show called “Monty
Python’s Flying Circus”
 Guido wanted a name that was

short, unique, and slightly
mysterious, so he decided to call
the language Python.
Who manages Python today ?
 From version 2.1 onwards ,

Python is managed by Python
Software Foundation situated
in Delaware , USA
 It is a non-profit organization
devoted to the growth and
enhancement of Python
language
 Their website is

Where Is Python used ?
 GUI
 Web
 Data Science
 AI & ML
 IoT
 Hacking
GUI In Python
 Python is used for GUI

apps all the time.
 It has famous libraries like

PyQT , Tkinter to build
desktop apps.
Web Application In Python
 We can use Python to

create web applications
on many levels of
complexity
Famous Websites Developed Using Python
 There are numerous examples of popular, high-load

websites/webapps that have been developed using Python.
 Here are some of the most popular of them:

 NASA
 Instagram
 Udemy
 Spotify
 Mozilla
 Dropbox
 And above all YouTube

Web Application In Python
 There are many excellent

Python frameworks like
Django, Flask for web
application development
Data Science In Python
 Data Science is about

making predictions with
data
Some Examples
 How do you think Super

Market stores decide
what are the items they
should club together to
make a combo?
 How it happens ?
 Answer: Data Science

Some Examples
 Have you noticed that

every time you log on to
Google, Facebook and
see ads, they are based
on your preferences
 How it happens ?
 Answer: Data Science

Data Science In Python
 Python is the leading

language of choice for
many data scientists
 It has grown in popularity

due to it’s excellent
libraries like Numpy ,
Pandas etc
AI & ML In Python
 Machine learning is a
field of AI (Artificial
Intelligence) by using
which software
applications can
predict more accurate
outcomes based on
historical data.
 It is heavily used in Face

recognition , music
recommendation ,
medical data etc
Use Of ML In COVID-19
AI & ML In Python
 Python has many

wonderful libraries to
implement ML algos like
SciKit-Learn , Tensorflow
etc
IoT In Python
 The Internet of Things, or

IoT, refers to the billions
of physical devices
around the world that are
now connected to the
internet, all collecting
and sharing data.
 For example:
 A lightbulb that can be
switched on using a
smartphone app is an IoT
device
IoT In Python
 We can build Home

Automation System and
even robots using IoT
 The coding on an IoT

platform like Raspberry
Pi can be performed using
Python
Hacking In Python
 Python has gained

popularity as preferred
language for hacking.
 Hackers generally
develop small scripts and
Python provides amazing
performance for small
programs
Why should I learn Python ?
 3rd most popular programming
 Fastest growing language
 Opens lots of doors
 Big corporates prefer Python
 Means , PYTHON IS THE FUTURE

Who uses Python today ?
Features Of Python
 Simple
 Dynamically Typed
 Robust
 Supports multiple programming paradigms
 Compiled as well as Interpreted
 Cross Platform
 Extensible
 Huge Library
Simple
 Python is very simple
 As compared to other popular languages like Java and C++, it is

easier to code in Python.
 Python code is comparatively 3 to 5 times smaller than

C/C++/Java code
Print Hello Bhopal!
IN C
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
printf("Hello Bhopal!");
return 0;
}
IN JAVA
public class HelloWorld{
public static void main( String[] args ) {
System.out.println( "Hello Bhopal!" );
}
}
IN PYTHON
print('Hello Bhopal!')
Add 2 Nos
IN C
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
int a=10,b=20;
printf(“Sum is %d”,a+b);
return 0;
}
IN JAVA
public class HelloWorld{
public static void main( String[] args ) {
int a=10,b=20;
System.out.println( “Sum is “+(a+b));
}
}
IN PYTHON
a,b=10,20;
print(“Sum is”,a+b)
Swap 2 Nos
IN C
int a=10,b=20,temp;
temp=a;
a=b;
b=temp;
IN JAVA
int a=10,b=20,temp;
temp=a;
a=b;
b=temp;
IN PYTHON
a,b=10,20
a,b=b,a
Dynamically Typed
Dynamically Typed
IN C IN Python
int a;
a=10
a=10;
a=“Bhopal”; a=“Bhopal”
Robust
 Python has very strict rules which every program must

compulsorily follow and if these rules are violated then
Python terminates the code by generating “Exception”
 To understand Python’s robustness , guess the output of the

following C/C++ code:
int arr[5];
int i;
for(i=0;i<=9;i++)
{
arr[i]=i+1;
}
Robust
 In Python if we write the same code then it will generate

Exception terminating the code
 Due to this other running programs on the computer do not

get affected and the system remains safe and secure
Supports Multiple
Programming Paradigms
 Python supports both procedure-oriented and object-

oriented programming which is one of the key features.
 In procedure-oriented languages, the program is built around

procedures or functions which are nothing but reusable pieces
of programs.
 In object-oriented languages, the program is built around

objects which combine data and functionality
Compiled
As Well As Interpreted
 Python uses both a compiler as well as interpreter for

converting our source and running it
 However , the compilation part is hidden from the

programmer ,so mostly people say it is an interpreted
language
Cross Platform
 Let’s assume we’ve written a Python code for our Windows

machine.
 Now, if we want to run it on a Mac, we don’t need to make

changes to it for the same.
 In other words, we can take one code and run it on any machine,
there is no need to write different code for different
machines.
 This makes Python a cross platform language

Extensible
 Python allows us to call C/C++/Java code from a Python code

and thus we say it is an extensible language
 We generally use this feature when we need a critical piece of

code to run very fast .
 So we can code that part of our program in C or C++ and then

use it from our Python program.
Huge Library
 The Python Standard Library is huge indeed.
 It can help you do various things like Database Programming ,

E-mailing ,GUI Programming etc
