    A Beginner's guide to Python - Steven Mcananey

    Chapter 1: Introduction to Python

    1.1 What is Python?

    Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language renowned for its simplicity, readability, and versatility. It was created by Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s and has since gained immense popularity among developers worldwide. 

    High-Level: Python abstracts away many of the complexities of computer hardware, making it easier to learn and use compared to low-level languages like C or assembly.

    General-Purpose: Python can be used for a wide range of tasks, including:

    Web Development: Building dynamic websites and web applications using frameworks like Django and Flask.

    Data Science and Machine Learning: Analyzing and visualizing data, building predictive models, and developing AI applications.

    Scientific Computing: Performing complex mathematical calculations, simulations, and data
