Python Programming Language for Statistics & Data Science
Python is a programming language that was created by Guido van Rossum. The first release of python was in 1991.
Python is known to be very beginner-friendly, so if you are new to programming, this might be the right programming language to learn.
At the same time, python has a huge community that is constantly developing new add-on packages and libraries. Python is therefore very flexible and can, for example, be used to do statistical data analysis, to develop games, or to create entire websites.
Python is open source, making the programming software completely free to use. You don’t have to pay anything in order to try whether python is the right programming language for you.

Thanks dear Sir
the best lecturer ever seen
I wish you long life with health
Thank you so much for the very kind words, this is great to hear! 🙂
Awesome, Thank you very much. Great resources
Thanks a lot Anele, this is great to hear! 🙂
In the R Programming section, you have a detailed list of the benefits of using R. For what applications would you say it would be preferred to learn and use Python over R? Thanks!
Hey Amos,
This is a question people discuss over and over – so you will find many different opinions on this.
In my opinion, both languages are equally good for most tasks. The major difference in my opinion is that R is more commonly used in the fields of statistics and social sciences, and Python is more commonly used in informatics and IT.
For that reason, I would choose a language depending on the field you are planning to work in.
I hope that helps!

It is really helpful sir. Thank You so much.
Hey Koushik,
