As in Current era there were main focus on automation and simplify the task. So in this Industry 4.0 module programming seems to be an necessary tool which enhance the user to do smart work.

Programming is nothing just a mathematical and logical concept oriented language followed by certain syntax of every language. There are many types of programming languages as per usability.

Some of them are as follows:
> Procedural Programming Language
> Functional Programming Language
> Object-oriented Programming Language
> Scripting Programming Language
> Logic Programming Language

Now the languages are:
-> Python
-> C/C++
-> Java/Java script
-> Pascal
-> Fortran
-> R
-> Perl
-> PHP
-> LISP
-> REBOL

PYTHON
Python is an interpreted, high-level and general-purpose programming language. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991.
Its language constructs and object-oriented approach aim to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.
Beautiful is better than ugly.

  • Explicit is better than implicit.
  • Simple is better than complex.
  • Complex is better than complicated.
  • Readability counts.

Python is meant to be an easily readable language. Its formatting is visually uncluttered, and it often uses English keywords where other languages use punctuation. Unlike many other languages, it does not use curly brackets to delimit blocks, and semicolons after statements are optional. It has fewer syntactic exceptions and special cases than C or Pascal.

Python has the usual symbols for arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /), the floor division operator // and the modulo operation % (where the remainder can be negative, e.g. 4 % -3 == -2). It also has ** for exponentiation, e.g. 5**3 == 125 and 9**0.5 == 3.0, and a matrix multiply operator @ . These operators work like in traditional math; with the same precedence rules, the operators infix ( + and - can also be unary to represent positive and negative numbers respectively).

Its as simple as you don’t event think off it.
eg.:
Input:- print(‘Hello, world!’)
Output:- Hello,world!

The official repository for third-party Python software, contains over 200,000 packages with a wide range of functionality, including:

  • Automation
  • Data analytics
  • Databases
  • Documentation
  • Graphical user interfaces
  • Image processing
  • Machine learning
  • Mobile App
  • Multimedia
  • Networking
  • Scientific computing
  • System administration
  • Test frameworks
  • Text processing
  • Web frameworks
  • Web scraping

Python is commonly used in artificial intelligence projects and machine learning projects with the help of libraries like TensorFlow, Keras, Pytorch and Scikit-learn. As a scripting language with modular architecture, simple syntax and rich text processing tools, Python is often used for natural language processing.

Many operating systems include Python as a standard component. It ships with most Linux distributions, AmigaOS 4 (using Python 2.7), FreeBSD (as a package), NetBSD, OpenBSD (as a package) and macOS and can be used from the command line (terminal). Many Linux distributions use installers written in Python: Ubuntu uses the Ubiquity installer, while Red Hat Linux and Fedora use the Anaconda installer. Gentoo Linux uses Python in its package management system, Portage.

Python is used extensively in the information security industry, including in exploit development.

Python can serve as a scripting language for web applications, e.g., via mod_wsgi for the Apache web server. With Web Server Gateway Interface, a standard API has evolved to facilitate these applications. Web frameworks like Django, Pylons, Pyramid, TurboGears, web2py, Tornado, Flask, Bottle and Zope support developers in the design and maintenance of complex applications. Pyjs and IronPython can be used to develop the client-side of Ajax-based applications. SQLAlchemy can be used as a data mapper to a relational database. Twisted is a framework to program communications between computers, and is used (for example) by Dropbox.

Libraries such as NumPy, SciPy and Matplotlib allow the effective use of Python in scientific computing, with specialized libraries such as Biopython and Astropy providing domain-specific functionality. SageMath is a mathematical software with a notebook interface programmable in Python: its library covers many aspects of mathematics, including algebra, combinatorics, numerical mathematics, number theory, and calculus.OpenCV has python bindings with a rich set of features for computer vision and image processing.
