27
Q

Even Python is used on multiple applications on a wide range of
scenarios, Python still has its drawbacks

A

● Python has a slow speed of execution.
● Python language is seen as less suitable for mobile
development and game development.
● Python has high memory consumption and is not used in
web browsers because it is not secure.
● Python’s database access layer is primitive and
underdeveloped in comparison to popular technologies
like JDBC and ODBC.
● Python is a dynamically-typed language, so the data
type of a variable can change anytime. A variable containing
an integer number may hold a string in the future, which can
lead to Runtime Errors.

27
Q

Python is used to develop

A

● Desktop GUI (Graphical User Interface)
● iWeb and Internet Development (IoT – Internet
of Things)
● Games and 3D Graphics
● Scientific and Numeric Applications
● Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
● Data Science and Data Visualization
● Enterprise Applications (Such as e-commerce, ERP and many more.)
● Network Programming
● Embedded Applications
● Audio and Video Applications
● Education
● CAD (Computer-Aided Designing) Applications
● Software Testing / Writing automated tests
● Python for DevOps / System administration / Writing automation scripts.
● Video Games

28
Q

The Python Programming Language
Syntax has many similarities to

A

Perl,
C, and Java Programming
Languages.

29
Q

two modes in
programming with Python

A

● Interactive Mode
● Script Mode

29
Q

● If you have installed Python on your
computer (Windows, Linux, macOS),
you can invoke a Python
interpreter using the command
line
.
● Just type the command python, and
the interpreter will show as follows.
● You don’t have to find the installation
folder as long as you setup the
installer to include PATH

A

Interactive Mode

30
Q

● We can invoke the Python interpreter
with a script parameter which begins
the execution of the script and
continues until the script is finished.
● When the script is finished, the
interpreter is no longer active.
● You may write your script on any
notepad but remember to save the
file with a “.py” extension

A

Script Mode

31
Q

is a name used to
identify a variable, function, class,
module or other object.

A

identifier

32
Q

starts with a letter A to Z
/ a to z or an underscore (_) followed
by zero or more letters, underscores
and digits (0 to 9).

A

identifier

33
Q

Python does not allow punctuation
characters such as @, $, and % within
identifiers. (True or false)

A

True

34
Q

start with an uppercase letter. All other identifiers start
with a lowercase letter.

A

Class names

34
Q

Starting an identifier with a single leading underscore (_var)
indicates that the identifier is a

A

private identifier

35
Q

Starting an identifier with two leading underscores (__var) indicates
a

A

strongly private identifier

36
Q

If the identifier also ends with two trailing underscores (__main__), the
identifier is a

A

language-defined special name or names that has particular significance

37
Q

you cannot use them as
constant or variable or
any other identifier names

A

reserved words

38
Q

to
denote that the line should continue

A

line continuation character (
)

39
Q

Python accepts single (‘), double (“) and triple (‘’’ or “””) quotes to denote string
literals, as long as the same type of quote starts and ends the string (TRUE OR FALSE)

A

True

39
Q

is a programmer-readable
explanation or annotation in the Python
source code.

A

comment

40
Q

A line containing only whitespace,
possibly with a comment, is known
as a __ __ and Python totally
ignores it.

A

41
Q

allows multiple statements on the single line

A
