There are various reasons why Python programming language is gaining good popularity in the programming community. Here, we have discussed some of the important features of Python programming language so that everyone can understand why Python is considered one of the cutting-edge skills of the 21st century.
1. Simple: As per computer programmers, python is a simple programming language due to three main reasons. The first reason is, Python programming consists of an extensive set of APIs (Application Programming Interface). Along with that, it contains an in-built facility called a garbage collector. And besides that, it comprises of easy to understand syntaxes which makes it a user-friendly language.
2. Easy to learn: Python programming uses a very simple structure and a small number of keywords so developing programs in Python becomes very easy. Python programming language resembles C programming language, most of the languages constructed in C are also available in Python, which helps developers easily migrate from C language to Python language.
3. Open Source: Open source programming language means it can be freely available. Python programming is an open-source programming language it can be freely downloaded from www.python.org website. Its source code can be read, modified, and used in programs as desired by the programmers.
4. High-Level Language: Python is a high-level language as it uses the English language to develop code that is easy to learn and use. Like COBOL, PHP, and JAVA, python also uses English words in its program and hence it is called high-level programming language.
5. Dynamically Typed: Unlike C, which is a statically typed language, Python is a dynamically typed language. Due to its dynamic nature, in Python language, variables do not require any explicit type declarations. Moreover, variable assignments are dynamic and can be modified as per the requirements.
6. Platform Independent: When a Python program is compiled using a Python compiler it generates byte code. Python byte code represents a fixed set of instructions that run on all operating systems and hardware using a Python Virtual Machine i.e. PVM anybody can run these byte code instructions on any computer system. Hence, Python programs are not dependent on any specific operating systems. We can use Python on every operating system like Unix, Linux, Windows, etc this makes Python an ideal language for any network or internet.
