What is Python?

Python is a high-level programming language created by Guido van Rossum in 1991. It was designed with one goal: make code readable.

A Simple Example

python
name = "Moussa"
print(f"Hello, {name}!")

This prints: Hello, Moussa!

How Python Handles a List

python
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
squares = [n ** 2 for n in numbers]
print(squares)  # [1, 4, 9, 16, 25]

Visualizing the Concept

This is how a typical Python development environment looks.

Why Everyone Uses It

• Readable syntax
• Massive ecosystem (NumPy, PyTorch, scikit-learn)
• One language for scripts, web, data, and AI

That's the basics. Next article I'll go deeper into data types.
