"Python is slow" is a misunderstanding. For instance, if you use some of the most popular libraries (like Numpu, Scipy, Panda, etc.), then is too fast compared to core Python code. It is because of the most libraries are written in best language for the different platform. For instance, most code of...

"Python is slow" is a misunderstanding. For instance, if you use some of the most popular libraries (like Numpu, Scipy, Panda, etc.), then is too fast compared to core Python code. It is because of the most libraries are written in best language for the different platform. For instance, most code of Numpy is written in C/C++. In addition, there are many python tools for optimal utilization of the underlying hardware. For instance, Theano/Theanets/Keras takes code in python, and they "convert" your coding in the best way possible for your system. It can use underlying GPU, multiple processors, or cluster without much efforts. Because of this, you don't have to learn C, C++, CUDA, OpenCV, etc. Python is very popular for it's simplistic and readability. Because of simplicity, it's popular in search. A researcher can write modify his/her experiment quickly. Readability is one of the important factors in an industry environment as maintenance of software takes 60-80% of the total effort. In addition to above, what else one needs? Good libraries for various tasks? There are lots of libraries. You name the task, and most likely there will be a library. This makes the development of software and experiment-setup for research very easy. read less

Very good question............ a thing is in use ONLY as long as it has some ADVANTAGE over other. Every language has its own pros & cons. There are situations/applications where speed of execution is of second importance. Python has several advantages , it is a DEVELOPERS delight , because 1.It has simplest syntax 2. it has the best in-built functions , no other language has as many functions on data structures like lists, dictionaries, etc 3. It has best & fastest libraries/frameworks for latest technologies like Data Science, Machine learning, Big data, web development , Scientific & Numerical programming, Embedded systems, IoT etc . read less

Best thing about Python as it have lots of inbuilt API for support all kinds of tasks even ML, AI, OS. and very easy when you writing code. for ex. when you define variable you not need to specify variable just by assigning value it ll identify the type of variable. which most of languages like c, c++,...

Can anyone help me with the below programs: A) which returns orger summary as a list with 2- tuples. Each tuple consists of the order number and the product of the price per items and the quantity. OUTPUT: [ ('34587',163.8),('98762',284.0),('77226',98.85),('88112',74.97) ]. 10 INR should be increased in the product if the value of the order is smaller than 100.00 INR. OUTPUT: [ ('34587',163.8),('98762',284.0),(77226',108.85),('88112',84.97) ]
Can't solve because product price is a part of the tuple. Since LIST IS MUTABLE so we can change its elements. We can change the whole tuple because it is an element of the list. As WKT TUPLE IS IMMUTABLE so we can't change its elements.
