CASE STUDY OF PYTHON PROGRAMMING

Aim: To study basic concepts of python programming

Theory:

1)Introduction to python language: Python is a popular programming language. It was created

by Guido van Rossum, and released in 1991.It is used for:

I)Web Development:
a). Frameworks: Python offers powerful web frameworks like Django and Flask, which simplify
web application development.
b). Scalability: Python’s scalability and flexibility make it suitable for building robust, scalable
web applications.

II)Software Development:
a). Prototyping: Python’s readability and simplicity enable rapid prototyping and iterative
development
b). Integration: Python easily integrates with other languages and technologies, making it a great
choice for developing software components.

III)Mathematics and Python:

a). Libraries: Python provides extensive mathematical libraries like NumPy and SciPy for
numerical computations and scientific research
b). Data Analysis: Python is widely used for data analysis and visualization, thanks to tools like
Pandas and Matplotlib.

IV)System Scripting and Python:

a). Automation: Python’s simplicity makes it ideal for writing scripts to automate repetitive tasks
and system operations.
b). Cross-Platform: Python scripts can run on multiple operating systems, making it a versatile
choice for system scripting.

2)Features of python language:

a). Readable Syntax: Python's syntax is designed to be clear and easy to understand, making
code more readable.

b). Dynamic Typing: Variable types are determined at runtime, which makes coding
more flexible and convenient
c). Extensive Libraries: Python comes with a vast standard library and many third-party
libraries, enabling rapid development.
d). Cross-Platform: Python code can be run on multiple operating systems without
modification.
e). Interpreted Language: Python is executed line by line, which makes debugging
easier and enhances the development process.

3)Application of python language:

a).Web Development: Python frameworks like Django and Flask enable developers to
build robust and scalable web applications efficiently.
b). Data Science & Analytics: With libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib,
Python is a go-to language for data analysis, visualization, and scientific computing.
c). Machine Learning & AI: Python is extensively used in machine learning and AI
thanks to powerful libraries like TensorFlow, Keras, and Scikit-learn.
d). Automation & Scripting: Python's simplicity makes it ideal for automating repetitive
tasks and writing scripts to manage system operations.
e). Game Development: Libraries like Pygame allow developers to create simple and
even complex games.

4)Advantages of python language:

a). Ease of Learning: Python’s syntax is simple and intuitive, which makes it accessible
for beginners and experienced developers alike.
b). Versatility: Python can be used for a wide range of applications, from web
development to data science, machine learning, and more.
c). Community Support: Python has a large and active community, providing extensive
resources, libraries, and frameworks that can help solve almost any problem.
d). Integration Capabilities: Python can easily integrate with other languages and
technologies, making it a great choice for system integration and automation.
e). Productivity: Python’s simplicity and readability result in faster development and
fewer lines of code, boosting overall productivity.

#To print hello world
print("Hello, World!")

2) Python programme to add 2 numbers:

# Define two numbers
num1 = 5
num2 = 3
# Add the two numbers
sum = num1 + num2
# Print the result
print("The sum of", num1, "and", num2, "is", sum)

3) Python programme to multiply 3 numbers:

# Define three numbers
num1 = 2
num2 = 4
num3 = 6
# Multiply the three numbers
product = num1 * num2 * num3
# Print the result
print("The product of", num1, ",", num2, "and", num3, "is", product)
