Did you know that humour and computer programming have things in common? In 1989, computer scientist <\/span>Guido Van Rossum<\/b> developed a programming language as a hobby. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

He named it \"Python\", after the world-famous British comedy group Monty Python.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But in this article we are not going to talk about \"The Life of Bryan\" or \"The Knights of the Square Table\", but about one of the most popular <\/span>most popular programming languages<\/span><\/a> at present. <\/span><\/p>\n

And you, do you know what Python is?<\/b> Here, we tell you more about this language, which is mandatory to learn in computer science.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Python?<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

Python is a high-level, cross-platform programming language. It is flexible, object-oriented and open source. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In this way, all kinds of programs can be programmed in Python (redundant), which is why it is so widely used in <\/span>web development and software applications<\/b>. Likewise, Python would enter the top 5 for <\/span>mobile programming languages<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

It promotes modularity, as it <\/span>uses modules and packages<\/b> which is used to reuse code. This computer language is simple, so beginners and experts alike use it when developing a <\/span>customised software<\/span><\/a>for example.<\/span><\/p>\n

Python language features<\/span><\/h2>\n

Now that you know a little more about Python, let's take a closer look at the most representative features of this computer language:<\/span><\/p>\n

Multi-platform<\/span><\/h3>\n

Python is not exclusive<\/b>On the contrary, it is available on different types of computer systems. <\/span><\/p>\n

Interactive<\/span><\/h3>\n

It is also an object-oriented language, <\/span>Python stands out for its interactivity<\/b>. For this purpose, this language features a command line interpreter, where commands are entered.<\/span><\/p>\n

An interpreted language<\/span><\/h3>\n

First of all, an interpreted language is one in which the code is executed in a direct way. <\/span><\/p>\n

In this case, it does compile, but in a form <\/span>transparent to the programmer<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Free<\/span><\/h3>\n

Being from <\/span>open source<\/b>This language is free of charge. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bookshops<\/span><\/h3>\n

Python has different <\/span>built-in functions<\/b>as well as a variety of libraries. In this way, they do not have to be programmed from scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Python code is clear<\/span><\/h3>\n

The syntax of Python is notable for its <\/span>readability, clarity and for being very visual<\/b>. This makes it very easy for people with no programming skills or who come from other language backgrounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Python, if we want to separate chunks of code, we must tabulate. Do not use braces or keywords.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Python for?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Large companies such as NASA and Google itself use Python. In fact, it is one of the <\/span>computer languages most in demand in the world of work<\/b>. This language can be used for all kinds of fields and projects:<\/span><\/p>\n
