Key Concepts & Definitions

  • High-Level Language: A programming language that is closer to human languages, abstracting hardware details for easier coding.
  • Interpreted Language: Python code is executed line-by-line by an interpreter, not compiled into machine code beforehand.
  • Dynamic Typing: Variables in Python are not bound to a specific data type; types are determined at runtime.
  • Readability: Python emphasizes clear, readable syntax, often using indentation to define code blocks instead of braces or keywords.
  • Standard Library: A comprehensive collection of modules and functions included with Python, facilitating tasks like file handling, math operations, and data manipulation.
