Python Programming 01: A Beginner's Guide to Python Language
What is Python?
Python is a popular programming language. It was created by Guido van Rossum, and released in 1991.
It is used for :
web development(server-side),
software development,

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.
Why Python?
Python works on different platforms like windows, mac, Linux, etc.
Python has a simple 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.
Example
print("Hello, World!")
Python Comments
Python has the commenting capability for in-code documentation.
Comments start with a #, and Python will render the rest of the line as a comment.
#This is a comment
print("Hello, World!)
Comments can be used to explain python code and also used to make the code more readable.
