2. What is Python Powerful Dynamic Programming Language Uses Whitespace Everything Is A Object Very Portable

3. History of Python Created By Guido Van Rossum An improvement on ABC Open Source and Community Supported

4. Basics Case Sensitive Unlimited Integers Arrays can contain elements of different types Arrays can be broken into slices Can be expanded with C or C++

5. No GOTO

6. Control Structures Supports Nested If- Statements Does NOT support Switch Statements Has a different way of doing FOR loops

7. Default FOR loop Works similar to a For-Each loop Ex: for w in "Cat": print(w) OUTPUT :C a t

8. FOR Loops Java Python for(int i = 5; i < 10; i++) System.out.printf("%d\n", i); OUTPUT:5 6 7 8 9 for i in range(5, 10): print(i) OUTPUT:5 6 7 8 9

9. If it looks like a duck….

10. Duck Typing Python is a Dynamically Typed Language Duck Typing is a subset of dynamic typing In Python, methods don’t care what is passed as long as it works

11. Subprograms Every function in Python returns a value Supports keyword parameters Allows for nested subprograms

12. Concurrency Python supports concurrency Since Python is interpreted, it can only handle logical concurrency

13. Error and Event Handling Extensive Exception handling features Users can create their own errors through class objects Python doesn’t have native event handlers
