P y t h o n L a b # 1 2 Python Named derived from TV series, Monty Python s Flying Circus, not the snake Important goal of developers was to make it fun Common practice was to make Monty Python references in example code Created by Guido Van Rossum in 1991 Python is often compared to Tcl, Perl, Ruby, Scheme or Java Why use Python? General-purpose, interpreted high-level programming language Design philosophy emphasizes code readability Supports multiple programming paradigms object-oriented and to a lesser extent functional Can be used in a scripting or non-scripting context
P y t h o n L a b # 1 3 Sample Python Script def greet (): CS192 today! ) greet() print ( Hello, World! ) name = input ( Enter your name: ) if name == Debbie : print ( Hello, Debbie! I am glad that you are in else: print ( Hello , name)

P y t h o n L a b # 1 5 Python Lab1 Assignment Type your own version of the python script What happens if you don t use quotes around the first print statement?
