Module 1 Introduction to python in computer programming

What is PYPY?

"PyPy is a replacement for CPython. It is built using the RPython language that was co-developed with it. RPython is a subset of Python and can be translated to C. The main reason to use it instead of CPython is speed: it runs generally faster due to JIT compilation.

Instruction List (IL)

A complete set of known commands

source code

A program in a high-level language before being compiled.

What is Ruby?

An object-oriented scripting language, where all data are objects.

natural language

Any one of the languages that people speak that evolved naturally.

Who created Python?

Guido van Rossum

error message

Helpful indicators that can point you in the right direction

What makes Python special?

It's easy to learn, it's easier to teach, and it's easy to use, easy to understand, and easy to install and deploy.

What is CPython?

It's the default, reference implementation of Python, written in the C language

What's niches is python absent in?

Low-level programming and applications for mobile devices

What is MicroPython?

Micro python is an efficient open source software implementation of python, three that is optimize to run on microcontrollers.

What are pythons competitors?

Perl and Ruby

Monty Python's Flying Circus

Python is named after ___________________

What is the difference between python two and python three?

Python three is newer, or to be more precise. The current version of the language is going through it's an evolutionarily path screening. It's own standards and habits.

What is Jython?

Python translated into Java but only available for Python 2.

program

Set of instructions that control the operation of a computer.

IL

The Alphabet of a machine language

source file

The file containing the source code

What is a compilation?

The source program is translated once, however this act must be repeated each time you modify the source code by getting file containing the machine code. Now you can distribute the file worldwide; the program that performs this translation is called a compiler translator.

What are the goals of python?

They are to be easy intuitive, open source, understandable, and suitable for every day tasks.

Where can we see python in action?

We can see it almost everywhere, including Internet services like surgeons cloud storage in tools. Mini developing tools are implemented in python. Also, every day use applications are being written in python. And scientist have switched to python. Also, I keep project testers have started using python to carry out repeatable test procedures

interpretation

You or any user the code can translate the source program each time it has to be run. The program performing this kind of transformation is called an interpreter is it interprets the code every time it is intended to be executed. It also means that you cannot just distribute the source code as is, because in your user also needs the interpreter to execute it.

computer file

a collection of data stored on a nonvolatile device in a computer system

What is Perl?

a high-level general-purpose programming language used especially for developing Web applications.

machine language

a programming language that is directly readable by the computer's CPU.

Language

a system of symbols that allows people to communicate with one another's

What makes a language?

alphabet, lexis, syntax, semantics

Text files

contain data that can be read in a text editor because the data has been encoded using a scheme such as ASCII or Unicode.

Pure text

without any decorations like different fonts, colors, embedded images or other media
