It also requires that testing be much more complete than it would need to be in a compiled application. While a logical error can occur in any sort of code, whether it be interpreted or compiled, a syntactical error can only occur in interpreted code for the end user. py” show up on your user’s screen. The use of interpreted code, therefore, requires a higher degree of path testing than the equivalent use of compiled code. Advantages 1. Easier to debug and maintain the code. Obviously, when you can load a small section of code and try it out without having to worry about compiling and linking the entire application, the process is going to go a lot faster.

Anyway, it is time to move on to the actual meat of the language, looking at syntax and writing code. So, let’s get on with it! 18 QQQ 2 Python Language Overview In order to really understand a language, you need to know the components that make up that language. In the case of a programming language, the elements that make up the language are its syntax, its keywords, and the style with which the language expresses itself. To begin with, let’s take a simple look at some Python code. Since Python is an interpreted language, there is really no need for the usual start and end blocks; you can simply select the pieces that you want to run and type them into the interpreter.

F() print s Q def : The def keyword allows you to define your own functions in Python.
