New darling of the college entrance examination
Before the change of the college entrance examination, when it comes to programming, people may think more of the C language and the like.
However, after the reform of the college entrance examination, the programming language of Python spread to thousands of households overnight.
In fact, in the 2017 programming language list published by IEEE (the flagship magazine published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), Python topped the list and became the most popular programming language.
So the question is, why even the college entrance examination must take the Python test?
Five reasons to tell you
1. Easy to learn
Many people may think that the college entrance examination Python is a joke!
Is Python hard?
In fact, on the contrary, thanks to its simple syntax, Python is extremely easy to get started with.
In the standard circle, there is a saying "Life is too short, I use Python"
So, don't feel that Python is too high. In fact, Python is quite "tame and docile".
2. Efficient
Although Python is not complicated, its standard library is very complex, and it can assist in various tasks.
Just a few lines of code can handle a problem, which is very cool.
3. Wide application
After more than ten years of development, Python can support a wide range of scales. According to the author of the "Python Learning Manual", Python can support almost all scales from the development of aerospace systems to the development of small games.
What is this concept? To put it simply: python is a million gold bricks, where to move where necessary! Any system can be developed!
4. Cross-platform
Python is a scripting language, there is no need to compile, its implementation is only related to the interpreter. The same code does not need to be changed to run on other systems.
Yes, it can not only develop any system, but also control any system!
5. Extensibility
Often nicknamed the glue language, Python can easily tie together various modules built in other languages (especially C/C++).
For example, the graphics rendering module in 3D games has particularly high performance requirements, so it can be rewritten in C/C++, and then encapsulated as an extended class library that Python can call. This is also the necessary knowledge for artificial intelligence.
Well, after experiencing the magic of Python, there is still a question, what is the best age for us to learn Python?
My point of view is that many children are learning Python in time, but why are there no children becoming programmers at this stage, and there is an urgent shortage of Python programmers in the market? It's been decades since the kids can work, so hurry up and hurry up!
Of course, the Python programming classes offered in elementary schools are more about cultivating fun and programming thinking, and cultivating children's ability to create problems, think about problems, and deal with problems. However, further education is what we young men should do, and it is what young people with mature thinking should do
