 INTRODUCTION TO PYTHON

Python programming language was developed by Guido Van Rossum in

February 1991. Learning Python gives the programmer a wide variety of career
paths to choose from. Python is an open-source (free) programming language
that is used in web programming, data science, artificial intelligence, and many
scientific applications. Learning Python allows the programmer to focus on
solving problems, rather than focusing on syntax. Its relative size and simplified
syntax give it an edge over languages like Java and C++, yet the abundance of
libraries gives it the power needed to accomplish great things. A few of the
major world-class software companies that use Python include; Industrial Light
and Magic, Google, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, Quora, Netflix, Dropbox and
many more due to the versatility and advantages it offers over other software
programming languages. Various other programming languages such as MySQL
can also be linked with Python to integrate different servers and extract results
using Python, thus allowing for cross server productivity

5
 HISTORY OF PYTHON

- Origin and Development of Python:

In the late 1980s, was when working on Python had initially started. Soon after that, Guido
Van Rossum began doing its application-based work in December of 1989 at Centrum
Wickenden & Informatica (CWI) which is situated in Netherland. It was started firstly as a
hobby project because he was looking for an interesting project to keep him occupied
during Christmas. The programming language which Python is said to have succeeded is
ABC Programming Language, which had the interfacing with the Amoeba Operating System
and had the feature of exception handling. Guido Van Rossum had already helped to create
ABC earlier in his career and he had seen some issues with ABC but liked most of the
features. He had taken the syntax of ABC, and some of its good features. It came with a lot
of complaints too, so he fixed those issues completely and had created a good scripting
language which had removed all the flaws. For quite some time he used to work for Google,
but currently, he is working at Dropbox. The language was finally released in 1991. When it
was released, it used a lot fewer codes to express the concepts, when we compare it with
Java, C++ & C. Its design philosophy was quite good too. Its main objective is to provide
code readability and advanced developer productivity. When it was released, it had more
than enough capability to provide classes with inheritance, several core data types
exception handling and functions.

- Different Versions of Python:

The first version of Python released in 1994, has since developed from the initial version of
Python 1.0, to the most recent version of Python 3.11 which was released in the October of
2022, with a total of 25 other versions being released over the years. Python 3.11 is based
off of Python 3.0 which was designed fix various fundamental flaws in the earlier versions.
The versions of Python which are still supported are Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11.

 FEATURES OF PYTHON
- Easy to Code:
Python is a high-level programming language. Python is extremely easy to learn the language as compared
to other languages like C, C#, JavaScript, Java, etc. It is very easy to code in python language and anybody
can learn python basics in a few hours or days. It is also a developer-friendly language.

- Free and Open Source:

Python language is freely available at the official website, and you can download it from the official
website, since it is open-source, this means that source code is also available to the public. So, you can
download it as, use it as well as share it.

- Object Oriented Language:

One of the key features of python is Object-Oriented programming. Python supports object-oriented
language and concepts of classes, objects encapsulation, etc.

- GUI Programming Support:

Graphical User interfaces can be made using a module such as PyQt5, PyQt4, python, or Tk in python.
PyQt5 is the most popular option for creating graphical apps with Python.

- High Level Language:

Python is a high-level language. When we write programs in python, we do not need to remember the
system architecture, nor do we need to manage the memory

- Extensible Language:
Python is an extensible language. We can write a Python code into C or C++ language and we can also compile that
cod in C/C++ language.

- Portable Language:
Python is also a portable language. For example, if we have python code for Windows and if we want to run this
code on other platforms such as Linux, Unix, and Mac then we do not need to change it, we can run this code on any
platform.
-Large Standard Library:
Python has a large standard library which provides a rich set of module and functions so you do not have to write
your own code for every single thing. There are many libraries present in python for such as regular expressions,
unit-testing, web browsers, etc.

- Dynamically Typed Language:

Python is a dynamically typed language. That means the type (for example- int, double, long, etc.) for a variable is
decided at run time not in advance because of this feature we don’t need to specify the type of variable.

7
 ADVANTAGES OF PYTHON

-Easy to Read, Learn and Write: Python is a high-level programming language

that has English-like syntax. This makes it easier to read and understand the code.
Python is really easy to pick up and learn, that is why a lot of people recommend
Python to beginners. You need less lines of code to perform the same task as
compared to other major languages like C/C++ and Java.

- Improved Productivity: Python is a very productive language. Due to the

simplicity of Python, developers can focus on solving the problem.
They don’t need to spend too much time in understanding the syntax or behavior of
the programming language. You write less code and get more things done.

- Free and Open Source: Python comes under the OSI approved open-source
license. This makes it free to use and distribute.
You can download the source code, modify it and even distribute your version of
Python. This is useful for organizations that want to modify some specific behavior
and use their version for development.

- Dynamically Typed: Python does not know the type of variable until we run the
code. It automatically assigns the data type during execution.
The programmer doesn’t need to worry about declaring variables and their data
types.

- Portability: In many languages like C/C++, you need to change your code to run
the program on different platforms.
That is not the same with Python. You only write once and run it anywhere.

 INTRODUCTION TO MYSQL

MySQL is an open-source relational database management system. Its

name is a combination of "My", the name of co-founder Michael
Widenius's daughter My, and "SQL", the abbreviation for Structured Query
Language.
Initially created in the 1970s, SQL is regularly used not only by database
administrators, but also by developers writing data integration scripts and
data analysts looking to set up and run analytical queries. MySQL is a tool
used to manage databases and servers, so while it's not a database, it's
widely used in relation to managing and organizing data in databases. A
few of the major world-class software companies that use SQL include;
Uber, Airbnb, Pinterest, Shopify, Netflix, Amazon, Udemy, Twitter and
many more due to the versatility and advantages it offers over other
software programming languages.
MySQL is primarily used to query and operate database systems. MySQL
allows you to handle, store, modify and delete data and store data in an
organized way. SQL does not support any connector. MySQL has become
the de facto standard programming language for relational databases after
they emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

9
 HISTORY OF MySQL
- Origin and Development of MySQL: MySQL is one of the most widely used open-
source relational database management systems in the world. With a total distribution
amounting to more than 100 million worldwide, the software has become the first choice
of large data management corporations spanning over a wide range of internet
technologies. Unireg, which is the code base of MySQL, was started in 1981. MySQL was
founded in 1995 in Sweden. In 2000, MySQL went open source, so it could be accessed and
used by all. In the year 2001, Marten Mickos was elected as the CEO of MySQL. In the year
2002, MySQL launched its headquarters in USA, in addition to Sweden headquarters. In
2003, MySQL entered into a partnership with SAP, and many features were developed in
MySQL keeping SAP in mind. In 2005, MySQL launched MySQL Network. Oracle purchased
Innobase, which is the backend of MySQL's InnoDB storage. In 2008, MySQL was acquired
by Sun Microsystems and later in 2009, Sun Microsystems and Oracle entered into a
definitive agreement under which Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems.

- Different Versions of MySQL: The first version of MySQL released in 1995, has since
developed from the initial version of MySQL 3.19 in 1996, to the most recent version of
MySQL 8.0 which was released in the April 2018, with a total of 12 other versions being
released over the years with different variations for Windows, Mac, Linux and others being
released alongside. MySQL 8.0 included changes such as the NoSQL Document Store,
atomic and crash safe DDL sentences and JSON extend

10
 FEATURED OF MYSQL

Quick and Reliable:

MySQL stores data efficiently in the memory ensuring that data is consistent, and not
redundant. Hence, data access and manipulation using MySQL is quick.

- Scalable:
Scalability refers to the ability of systems to work easily with insignificant amounts of
data, large amounts of data, clusters of machines, and so on. MySQL server was
developed to work with large databases.

- Data Types:

It contains multiple data types such as unsigned integers, signed integers, float
(FLOAT), double (DOUBLE), character (CHAR), variable character (VARCHAR), text,
blob, date, time, datetime, timestamp, year, and so on.
- Character Sets:

It supports different character sets, and this includes latin1 (cp1252 character
encoding), German, Ujis, other Unicode character sets and so on.

- Secure:

It provides a secure interface since it has a password system which is flexible, and
ensures that it is verified based on the host before accessing the database. The
password is encrypted while connecting to the server.

- Support for Large Databases:

It comes with support for large databases, which could contain about 40 to 50
million records, 150,000 to 200,000 tables and up to 5,000,000,000 rows.

 USER DOCUMENTATION

This Hotel Management System can be used by anyone looking to streamline hotel
operations. The user must first download Python and paste the source code of the system
into a Python script. A Python IDE or interpreter, such as Python IDLE, is required to run the
code since the entire system is written in the Python programming language. Additionally,
the user must have MySQL downloaded and installed, as the database is managed through
Python-SQL connectivity.

The Hotel Management System integrates Python and SQL to manage hotel operations
effectively. Initially, a MySQL database is set up with relevant tables containing details
about customers, rooms, and bookings. The Python code provides the user with access to
the database, allowing for modifications, updates, and general management tasks.

Using the System:

Once the user pastes the code into Python and runs the script, a menu-driven program with
a list of options will appear. This menu-driven interface allows the user to choose from
various actions related to hotel management. The available options are as follows:

- Add Customer
- Check Room Availability
- Book Room
- Update Room Availability
- Exit

Upon presenting the list of options, the system will request an input from the user. Each
operation is assigned a number, and based on the number input by the user, the code will
proceed accordingly.

1. Add Customer

16
If the user selects the option to add a customer, the system will prompt for details such as
name, email, and phone number. These details will be added to the `Customers` table in
the MySQL database, and a confirmation message will be displayed.

2. Check Room Availability

If the user selects the option to check room availability, the system will query the `Rooms`
table in the MySQL database to retrieve a list of available rooms. The available rooms will
be displayed on the screen.

3. Book Room
If the user selects the option to book a room, the system will prompt for the customer ID,
room ID, check-in date, and check-out date. These details will be used to create a booking
in the `Bookings` table, and the room's availability status will be updated to `FALSE`. A
confirmation message will be displayed.

4. Update Room Availability

If the user selects the option to update room availability, the system will prompt for the
room ID and the new availability status. The `Rooms` table in the MySQL database will be
updated accordingly, and a confirmation message will be displayed.

5. Exit
If the user selects the option to exit, the program will terminate, and no further actions will
be taken until the user runs the program again.
