What is Python used for?

Python is a computer programming language often used to build websites and software, conduct data analysis, and automate tasks.

Python is a general-purpose language, which means it can be used to create various programs, and it is not specialized for any specific problems.

History and versions of Python

Python was initially created by Guido van Rossum and was first released on 20 February 1991. then it started documentation release on 25 October 1996. Python's stable version is 3.11, released on 24 October 2022. and the 3.13 version is in development.

Example

Let's start with a small example of finding the greatest number. You just need to take three numbers as input from stdin and find the greatest of them.

Example

Input

  1. 902
  2. 100
  3. 666

Output Should be-

902

Let's try to code to get the expected result with Python. The first thing we need to check is which library we can use to get input and which library we can use to print output.

Code Sample

def main():

 inputA = int(input())
 inputB = int(input())
 inputC = int(input())

 if inputA >= inputB and inputA >= inputC:
     print(inputA)
 elif inputB >= inputA and inputB >= inputC:
     print(inputB)
 else:
     print(inputC)

main()

By default, input is in the string, so we need to cast to int if we need an integer conversation.

So with the above code, we can get an idea of getting input and printing output. Also, we get an idea of comparing integers and, if else, conditions using Python language.
