Python is a general-purpose programming language which can be used for almost
anything may it be to develop web pages or for machine learning or any sort of simple
application Python has you covered so you would wonder where did it all start in the
1980s.
Python has gained popularity recently with the rise of machine learning and artificial
intelligence as Python makes code writing easy and efficient.
Python is an open source language which means that it is free for anybody to use.
Python allows you to add the code of those particular languages within itself which
makes python all the more powerful with that.
Python also supports oops meaning that you can model a real-world problem into your
code and you can have security for it. Python is a really important language and there are
a huge number of companies who use it around the world.
The National Security Agency uses Python for cybersecurity analysis and also for
encryption and decryption purposes.
NASA scientists at NASA used Python to perform scientific calculations. Netflix uses
machine learning to cluster certain groups of its users and recommend TV shows to
detain them.
Let us go ahead and see how to work with patch um and write a few programs with
pycharm. you can download either the professional version or the community version for
the purpose of the tutorial I will be downloading the community.
Community version because it is free but if you want you can even go ahead. to
download the professional. version for a certain amount of fee I already have py charm
installed in my computer.
PyCharm python v6 open so as you can see I have all the different topics that we will be
covering the data types file handling flow control functions operators all of this so let me
just come out of the presentation mode now let us move ahead with the next part of our
tutorial so I hope all of you are clear with this.
The first data type is the numeric data type which is used to store the numeric values.
The other thing that you have to remember are that numeric data types are not mutable.
