🐍 What is Python? / पायथन क्या है?

English:
Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language that is known for its simplicity and readability. It was created by Guido van Rossum and was first released in 1991. Python is used in many areas such as web development, data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, and much more.

Hindi:
पायथन एक उच्च-स्तरीय, इंटरप्रिटेड प्रोग्रामिंग भाषा है जो अपनी सरलता और पठनीयता के लिए जानी जाती है। इसे गुइडो वैन रोसुम ने बनाया था और इसे पहली बार 1991 में जारी किया गया था। पायथन का उपयोग कई क्षेत्रों में किया जाता है जैसे वेब विकास, डेटा विज्ञान, कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता, मशीन लर्निंग, स्वचालन और बहुत कुछ।

🚀 Why Python? / पायथन क्यों?

English:

1.     Simple and Readable Syntax: Python’s syntax is clean and easy to understand, making it a great language for beginners.

2.     Large Community and Libraries: There is a huge community that contributes to Python’s extensive set of libraries for various tasks (e.g., NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib for data science).

3.     Cross-Platform Compatibility: Python is platform-independent, meaning you can run Python code on various operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux without modification.

4.     Open-Source: Python is free to use and open-source, meaning anyone can contribute to its development.

Hindi:

1.     सरल और पठनीय सिंटैक्स: पायथन का सिंटैक्स साफ और समझने में आसान है, जो इसे शुरुआती लोगों के लिए एक बेहतरीन भाषा बनाता है।

2.     बड़ी समुदाय और पुस्तकालय: पायथन की एक बड़ी समुदाय है जो विभिन्न कार्यों के लिए इसके विशाल पुस्तकालयों में योगदान करती है (जैसे डेटा विज्ञान के लिए NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib आदि)।

3.     क्रॉस-प्लेटफ़ॉर्म संगतता: पायथन प्लेटफ़ॉर्म-निर्भर नहीं है, इसका मतलब है कि आप पायथन कोड को विभिन्न ऑपरेटिंग सिस्टम्स जैसे Windows, macOS, और Linux पर बिना किसी संशोधन के चला सकते हैं।

4.     ओपन-सोर्स: पायथन का उपयोग मुफ्त में किया जा सकता है और यह ओपन-सोर्स है, इसका मतलब है कि कोई भी इसके विकास में योगदान कर सकता है।

🌟 Python Features / पायथन की विशेषताएँ

1.     Interpreted Language (इंटरप्रिटेड भाषा): Python code is executed line by line, which makes it easier to debug and test.

2.     Dynamically Typed (डायनामिकली टाइप किया गया): You don’t need to specify variable types. Python determines the type of variable at runtime.

3.     Object-Oriented (ऑब्जेक्ट-ओरिएंटेड): Python supports object-oriented programming (OOP), which allows you to structure code into reusable objects and classes.

4.     Extensive Standard Library (विस्तृत मानक पुस्तकालय): Python comes with a huge standard library, so you don’t need to write everything from scratch.

5.     Portable (पोर्टेबल): You can run Python programs on any system without needing to modify the code.

⚡ How to Install Python? / पायथन को कैसे इंस्टॉल करें?

1.     Visit Python’s Official Website:

o    Go to the official Python website.

o    Download the latest version for your operating system (Windows/macOS/Linux).

2.     Install Python:

o    For Windows: Run the installer and make sure to check the box “Add Python to PATH” during installation.

o    For macOS/Linux: Use terminal commands or package managers like Homebrew (macOS) or apt-get (Linux).

3.     Verify Installation:

o    Open your terminal (Command Prompt on Windows) and type python --version or python3 --version to check if Python is installed successfully.

o    You should see something like: Python 3.x.x.

🖥️ Writing Your First Python Program / अपना पहला पायथन प्रोग्राम लिखना

English: Let’s write a simple Python program to print "Hello, World!":

print("Hello, World!")

·         Save this code as hello.py.

·         To run it, open your terminal/command prompt and type:

python hello.py

Hindi: आइए हम एक सरल पायथन प्रोग्राम लिखें जो "Hello, World!" प्रिंट करेगा:

print("Hello, World!")

·         इस कोड को hello.py के रूप में सेव करें।

·         इसे चलाने के लिए, अपने टर्मिनल/कमान्ड प्रॉम्प्ट में टाइप करें:

python hello.py

🔧 Basic Python Syntax / पायथन सिंटैक्स के आधारभूत नियम

1.     Variables / वेरिएबल्स:
Variables store data values.

x = 5

y = "Hello"

2.     Data Types / डेटा प्रकार:
Python supports various data types such as integers, floats, strings, lists, etc.

int_variable = 10      # Integer

float_variable = 20.5  # Float

string_variable = "Python"  # String

3.     Control Flow / नियंत्रण प्रवाह:
You can use if, elif, and else statements for conditional checks.

if x > 0:

    print("Positive number")

else:

    print("Non-positive number")

4.     Loops / लूप्स:
You can use for and while loops to repeat actions.

for i in range(5):

    print(i)
