Why python is so popular??
Due to requirement to current market Python is so popular programming language.
Some requirement given below:
- Simple and easy to understand
- less coding
- Compatible with all language
A question arises in your mind how can we say it simple ,easy to understand and less coding
It's very easy
Let us understand and compare among C ,java & python
Write a hello world program in these language
In C -----
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("hello world");
}
In java----
class Test
{
public static void main(String arg[])
{
System.out.println("hello world");
}
}
In python---
print("hello world")
I hope that you will understand why is simple ,easy to understand and have less coding.....
NOTE:-Python is Dynamically typed PL while C and java is statically typed PL.
It means without datatype it is impossible to create variable in java and c
but in python you can create variable without datatype.
Example:
a=5
print(a)
- Python is all rounder
it support functional programming language features, object oriented PL features ,Script language features a, and also modular programming........
So python is most popular in this world
