Python

What is Python used for?

Python is mostly used for developing websites and analyzing data. Whenever you open a website on your phone or computer, there is probably thousands of lines of Python code that are running to open that website. If you know Python well, you will be able to create your own website in less than an hour. In addition to that, almost all data analysis is done in Python. Data analysis is the process of inspecting and sorting data with a machine algorithm.

What are the benefits of using Python?

Python is extremely simple, so it is perfect for all beginners. This is because commands in Python are read like they are in English. It can be written extremely fast as it's syntax isn't complicated. It can be executed extremely quickly as Python code is not very long. The code is short because since Python is newer than its counterparts, less code is necessary than in other languages. Lastly, Python has the most in-built code which makes Python coding require less time and effort.

Where can I code in Python?

When practicing how to code in Python, there are hundreds of websites and applications you can use. One that I would recommend to everyone is called Google Collaboratory. To use this website, you need to create a Google account which is not linked to any organization and has an age 13 or above. Then, you have to go to your Google Drive, click the "New" button, and search for Google Collaboratory. You will install the application and open it. You can now code freely.

Now that you have all of this down, let's start learning!
