One language and a thousand possibilities

Python is an interpreted, dynamic, and object-oriented programming language. It includes modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, classes, and high-level data types. It supports many programming paradigms beyond object-oriented programming, such as procedural and functional programming. Special software with the same name must be installed to create and run programs in this language on macOS.

Programming paradigms

In addition to the structural style, Python supports object-oriented, imperative, functional, and aspect-oriented programming. Like PHP, it supports dynamic typing, allowing you to avoid declaring and changing the type of data stored in a variable at runtime. It also manages memory usage automatically. As a modern high-level language, Python supports multithreaded computing and high-level data structures and has a built-in mechanism for handling exceptions. Programs can be divided into modules, and modules can be further combined into packages.

Language interpreter

The Python interpreter allows you to write and execute code and manipulate variables. The main point is presented as a simple syntactic language to help you write code interactively, thereby improving readability and reducing debugging time. Code written in Python can be edited and tested several times by running it in an interpreter. Unlike other languages, it does not restrict you from editing the code outside of the runtime environment, so you can use the interpreter to make changes. It is an object-oriented programming language that uses data structures to store information in a place inaccessible to the main program. It can be retrieved using a particular function.

What's great about this programming language?

High-level data structures and dynamic semantics make this language useful for rapid program development. It can also be used as a means of combining existing components. Python supports modules and module packages and promotes modularity and code reuse. The Python programming language also supports several programming paradigms: object-oriented, procedural, functional, and aspect-oriented.

Python combines impressive power with obvious syntax. It can also be an extension language for applications with a programmable interface. Moreover, Python is multiplatform. It runs on various Unix systems, including macOS.

Among the primary advantages of the Python language are the following:

  • clear and concise syntax, making it easy for beginners to learn the language;

  • lots of features to create games and programs;

  • various useful modules;

  • the ability to use Python in a dialogue mode;

  • a simple but powerful development environment;

  • convenience for solving mathematical tasks.

Python can boast one of the most extensive libraries. It has good interoperability and can be used by programmers with different levels of experience. This programming language uses objects, classes, and clear syntactic language to help you create, edit, and generate your applications. It is the basis of many software applications developed for academic or commercial purposes and includes an extensive library with predefined tools.

Primary language features

  • indentation is used to highlight code fragments to improve readability and code clarity;

  • the standard distribution has many useful modules and a powerful development environment (IDLE), written in Python;

  • the ability to use Python in dialogue mode;

  • the program has tools for working with complex numbers, can operate with integers of any value, and can be used as a powerful calculator in dialogue mode;

  • open-source code.
