Python and its learning advantages.
Guido Van Rossum the Inventor of the computer language, “Python” ,when began implementing Python as a programming language back in the late 1980s at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands came up with an interesting tale .
This had to do with why was the programming language named after a reptile, Guido back in those days always read the published scripts from “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”, a BBC comedy series from the 1970s.
Van Rossum thought he needed a name that was short, unique, and slightly mysterious, so, he decided to call the language, Python.
That is how a name of a reptile was given to a computer language. Unlike the name the language is not dangerous rather it is one of the easiest programming language and can be made further easy by learning basic coding.
Surprisingly today when young minds of 6 -7 years old kids can get a hold of it I am sure that even you, and I can, but let’s first know a bit about Python before we set forth to this enriching learning experience.
• Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics.
• Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting, or glue language to connect existing components together.
• Python’s simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance.
• Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse.
• The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed.
Often, programmers fall in love with Python because of the increased productivity it provides. Since there is no compilation step, the edit-test-debug cycle is incredibly fast.
Debugging Python programs is easy, a bug or bad input will never cause a segmentation fault. Instead, when the interpreter discovers an error, it raises an exception. When the program doesn’t catch the exception, the interpreter prints a stack trace.
A source level debugger allows inspection of local and global variables, evaluation of arbitrary expressions, setting breakpoints, stepping through the code a line at a time, and so on.
The debugger is written in Python itself, testifying to Python’s introspective power. On the other hand, often the quickest way to debug a program is to add few print statements to the source and the fast edit-test-debug cycle makes this simple approach very effective.
Keeping Python fun to use is an important goal of Python’s developers. It reflects in the language’s name, a tribute to the British comedy group Monty Python.
On occasions, they are playful approaches to tutorials and reference materials, such as referring to spam and eggs instead of the standard foo and bar.
Python is used by hundreds of thousands of programmers and is used in many places. Sometimes only Python code is used for a program, but most of the time it is used to do simple jobs while another programming language is used to do more complicated tasks.
Although has anyone ever wondered how small children can code and run commands on python. The answer to this lies in the amount of sources we have .If one wishes to learn and there are multiple ways that the young generation has been offered with.
Among the many sources to choose from, PurpleTutor an Ed-tech company can help the child fulfil his /her dreams .Becoming a programmer in the future will not seem only a dream . What we as a team promise is interesting and interactive live online coding classes with the child facilitated by certified computer science teachers.
We teach coding to the young budding generation(Age 6-16). If you wish to witness yourself how this experience can be fruitful for your child in being future ready and for you to be a responsible parent.
