  What is Python

Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language that is widely used for web development, scientific computing, data analysis, artificial intelligence, and other areas. It is known for its readability, simplicity, and flexibility. Python was first released in 1991 by Guido van Rossum and it is now maintained by the Python Software Foundation.

How to work Python

There are several ways to work with Python, including:

The Python interactive interpreter: You can start the Python interpreter by typing "python" or "python3" in the command line, depending on your system's configuration. This allows you to type Python commands and see the results immediately.

Writing Python scripts: You can write Python code in a script file with the ".py" extension and run it using the command "python scriptname.py" or "python3 scriptname.py" in the command line.

Using an IDE (Integrated Development Environment): There are several IDEs available for Python, such as PyCharm, IDLE, and Spyder, which provide a more advanced development environment, including features such as code completion and debugging.

Online platforms : You can also use online platforms like Repl.it, to code Python online and share your code with others.

Once you have one of the above methods set up, you can start writing Python code. 

Python code consists of statements and expressions, which are executed sequentially from top to bottom. Python provides many built-in functions and modules, which can be used to perform various tasks.
