Introduction to Python and installation of python and Pycharm

Introduction:

Learning python gives the programmer a wide variety of career paths to choose from. Python is an open-source (free) programming language that is used in web programming, data science, artificial intelligence, and many scientific applications.

Learning Python allows the programmer to focus on solving problems, rather than focusing on syntax. Its relative size and syntax give it an edge over languages like java and C++, yet the abundance of libraries gives it the power needed to accomplish great things.

Why Python???

The best part is that python is really easy to use, a beginner can make his/her first program in seconds. Unlike other languages like C++ and java there is not much of syntax in python. Due to its large community support and libraries most of complexities had already been taken care of. You just need to import those libraries and complex part is done. Python is used in web development, AI, data science, and many other applications.
