There is so many programming languages out there, like C, C++, Java, Javascript, haskell, julia, R, Python, etc. But, Do you know that Python is one of the most popular programming language ?

What makes python so popular ? There is some reasons. First, Python code is easy to understand. When compared to most other programming languages, we can see that python is very easy to understand.

This is an example of a program using the Java programming language :

class HelloWorld {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
     }
}

It's hard, right?

Then below is a program that is exactly the same, but uses the Python programming language :

print("Hello, Word")

The two codes above run the exact same program, but we know that the python code is much shorter and easier to understand. So, that is the first reason why we choose python language.

The second reason is because python is supported by a very complete library & module. With it we can do many things using python code such as game development, web development, desktop application creation, mobile applications, data science, and so on.

So, that's the reason why we choose python. In the next article, we will start discussing python language data types.
