What is Python? Python is a very powerful programming language and can be used to write any piece of software. But you can also use it to do data science. Model your sales data, to text mining on your latest Twitter feeds, or build the next movie recommendation engine. It's all possible with Python. Python is open source, and there's a bunch of programmers across the world that have written amazing extensions to Python, to help you achieve great things. Python can be used in the cases where the legacy analytical tools fail.

And this happens with the help of some programming language, which acts as an interface between the computer user and hardware. So, coding/programming is an act of writing these instructions using some programming language which when runs on a computer performs some tasks. Pheww...... Programming Languages There is a large variety of programming languages available in the market right now and every lan
