Python Language is influenced by ABC language and ABC language is influenced by SETL. Features implemented in Python Language is from C, C++, Modula and some others programming language.
Features of Python:-
- It's syntax are very simple and can be mostly used for web development.
- It is dynamically typed, which means memory allocation of variable is done at run time.
- It is case sensitive like c, c++, java.
- Indentation(means fixed space like four bits, one tab) is used in place of curly braces.
- We can use variable without declaration.
- It is an interpreted language means python uses interpreter to read the code.
- It supports multiple paradigm programming language (object oriented, procedural, etc).
- It is platform independent.
- It has large set of libraries.
- It has automatic memory management.
