What is Python Language?
Pyhon is an open source,high level ,general purpose and object oriented programming language.The founder of Python programming language is Guido Van Rossum. Python is not intended to work only in a particular area but in many areas, that is why it is known as multipurpose programming language.
There is no need to use data types to declare variable because it is dynamically typed so we can directly
write num=100 to assign an integer value in an integer variable.
Python makes the development and debugging fast because there is no compilation step included
in Python development, and edit-test-debug cycle is very fast.
