PYTHON

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language designed for ease of use and readability. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python emphasizes simplicity, which makes it particularly popular among beginners and experts alike. The language supports multiple programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. Python's extensive standard library and active community contribute to its widespread use in diverse fields, from web development and data science to machine learning and automation. Its dynamic typing, garbage collection, and cross-platform compatibility make Python an ideal choice for rapid application development and prototyping.

Throughout this Python section, readers may notice that I include semicolons at the end of some statements. Although Python allows semicolons, they are not typically used as statement terminators. In Python, a semicolon functions only as a statement separator, and placing one at the end of a line is treated as an empty statement with no practical effect. My use of semicolons is an intentional personal choice: adding them to my Python code helps me maintain familiarity with languages like C and C++, where semicolons are required to terminate statements. Including them in my Python snippets reinforces these habits and helps me preserve the rhythm of writing C/C++ syntax while switching between languages.
