Introduction
C oding in Python is straightforward and promises a fun experience that beats basic routine programming. Below are some benefits of why Kids should start learning on how to code with Python:
Easier and Better Debugging
Debugging refers to a process of searching for bugs and defects and resolving them. These bugs and errors tend to inhibit a program or system from working correctly. In this vein, debugging aims to resolve problems in programs. In terms of debugging, Python is one of the highest-ranking programming languages owing to the tools it provides, such as PyDebug, pudb, and pdb, which help make the debugging experience smooth and manageable.
Take, for instance, the toolpudb, can help programmers analyze the core of codes and track down a problem. When compared, while other languages keep working to improve their debugging experiences and tools, Python only gets better with time.
There Are No Restrictions to its Programming Syntax
Unlike other programming languages, Python can be easily understood by anyone, even up to a non-programmer. The reason is primarily attributed to its high readability and problem-oriented design, which lets one pay attention to coding logically rather than expressly delving into the nitty-gritty of the syntax.
As proof of this unique benefit, consider the sample program shown below to calculate a simple interest.
Print (Simple Interest Calculator :)
Amount = float (input (Value of Principal?))
roe = float(input(Rate of Interest ?))
time = int(input(Duration (no. of years) ?))
total = (amount * pow(1 + (roi/100), time)
interest = total - amount
print(\nInterest = %0.2f %interest)
Taking a look at the program, you can note how relatively easy it is to decode and write the code in Python.
An Explicit Declaration is not Required
When coding in Python, type specifiers should not be used in the declaration of variables because it can be done without declaring any of the data types in Python. Additionally, it is unnecessary to make use of separators, such as semicolons (;) in marking the end of a statement or command. Indentation in Python takes the place of parenthesis in grouping a block of code. And to make indentations in codes, you can make use of either spaces or tabs. Albeit, some rules are enforced in Python, like the use of four spaces for each level of indentation, many other facets of Python, such as this contribute to making learning easier for beginners.
Great Object-Oriented Programming Support
OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) comes as a built-in element in Python. It creates a model that produces solutions by devising objects, binding data, and defining connections. Albeit, the procedural programming methodology takes a different approach from top to bottom, solving one problem at once and splitting it into bit sizes. Object-Oriented Programming, on the one hand, is a different ball game altogether. It adopts a bottom to top problem-solving approach that looks for blueprints to the solution from the onset, thereby leaving implementation to a much later time.
To develop you as a professional Python programmer, constructing objects, building inheritance, and using classes are fundamental approaches to take. Whats more, is that these concepts can be easily mastered in Python for the production of quality programs with quicker implementations than other programming languages. Python encourages minimalism in code sizes, allowing for faster and better applications.
W hen we talk about the word coding, we will quickly see that it is a vast and big world to look at. It is not going to include just one or two parts. It is going to include hundreds of languages, thousands of software programs, and so much more. For example, all of the software that you are going to use on your desktop and laptop, and even the games and the apps that you enjoy on your smartphone are all going to be products of this coding. Even if you are working with a gadget or a device that does not have a screen, such as an RC drone, or even the toy Furby, you will not be able to behave in the proper manner without some of the software that coders have been able to develop.
That is why we are going to get started on some of the different parts that are going to show up when it is time to work with the idea of coding and programming. No matter what kind of coding or programming language you are looking to get into, there are always a bunch of options, and figuring out how they all work, and the basics that they will all share, can make a difference in the amount of success you are going to see.
The first thing that we need to do is to explore the most common terms and the definitions that go with them in Coding. No matter what kind of code you would like to do, or the coding language that you want to choose, knowing these basics can be important. Some of the terms that you need to know to get started will include:
Program and Code
Code is going to refer to the set of instructions that you can write out for the computer, or your compiler, to follow. As soon as you made a new code on a computer, and you wrote it out in a manner that the computer can process from the beginning all the way to the end without an error, you can already compile it into the program that you want.
Each programming language is going to come with its own rules when it comes to how the code should be written, and how you will work with each part of the program. Just know for now that the code is going to be the instructions that you are able to send through to the compiler, telling it how you want that program to behave.
