Python Venom

Nowadays more people asking  me

• I am new to programming what programming language I should learn.
• I have vacation now what should I do.
• Why I should I learn python rather than java and .Net dominated software fools world.
• I want to learn network programming ,please give your suggestion.
• I want to start web development what should I do.

Well Answer is learn Python.

Why you should Learn Python:

• Dynamically typed.

In c you declare a variable

int c=3;

In Python

 c=3

You need not mention data type in python it automatically identifies data types and performs operations.Isn’t it cool ?

• No semi colon and indentation is used instead of curly braces.

C program

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{

int a=3;

printf("%d",a);

return 0;

}

In python

a=3

print a

for i in xrange(0,3):

   print i

As a programmer you indent your code for better readability and python uses indentation as delimiter.
