Learn Python for solving Engineering Problems

 Hello all of you,

About Blog:

In this blog you will learn What is Python?, its generation, features and applications. Now a days, Python language become most demanding language in Software industry.  With the help this programming language we can get solutions for different engineering, business problems.  So let’s read an interesting article on this “Python”.

History and Generations:

Development of this language started in 1980 by Guido van Rossum at CWI, Netherland, they worked on this for 10 years and then in 1990 they published first version of Python 1.0 with some basic features. The name “Python” is given to this language is from a TV serial showing in 1970’s by Rossum. 

Python language is based on Object oriented nature and officially, Python 1.0 package distributed to everyone in 1991 and development were started. 

In upcoming years, new features were added in this version and journey was started. 

 

Popularity and Demanded Language:

In a month of January 2019, famous survey agency Statista made a survey on most used language for development and found this details as Python (38%), Java (31%) and so on. This indicates that, now developers started using Python for development. There are several reason behind the increasing the use of this language that we can see in features.

One more survey made by Stackoverflow agency regarding which is highly wanted/demanded programing language in current year and received following responses.

Why to choose Python?

• This is High level language can used to develop desktop application, websites, client server architecture, embedded applications. Python is interpreter based language and support any kind of platform.

• Python support large number of external libraries, so can be worked with other development technologies and also with database management applications. 

• Python carries huge list of libraries and packages which contains ready-made functions which are mostly required to develop the applications i.e. reusability which reduces line of code.

Let’s see this example: Displaying Hello world as a output on screen using different languages.

Above example show us about how much simple and easier this Python language comparing with C++ and Java.

Features of Python Language:

·         Can download free of cost from official website www.python.org

·         Can be used on any platform, as well as can easily move code without any changes.

·         Gives all object oriented features like exception handling

·         Easy to write because of simple syntax

·         Having less number of keywords which help to use inbuilt functions

·         Memory management task performed

·         Less time required to write code, as it reduce the line of code

 

Applications:

·         Data Science applications in education, medical, business sector

·         Machine Learning domain

·         Text/Data Mining

·         Language Processing

·         Deep Learning

·         Big data and Hadoop Technology

·         SQL, MongoDB like database application

·         Artificial Intelligent

·         Social Media Analytics

·         Decision making tasks

 

Use of Python in Engineering Problem:

When we are talking about Programming language then all are thinking that it is only related to Computer and IT people, but now this scenario is going to change….

Python language can be used in any engineering streams i.e. Mechanical, Civil, Electrical,Automobile and so on. This language used to solve optimization problems.

This python can be used in many fields now a days, but I will discuss only two important areas with you….

1. Many Mechanical engineers uses Python and other computer languages in order to simulate/ design concepts or make them automate to get conceptual ideas from numerical methods, thermodynamics and so on.

2. Civil engineers also take help of this Python language to speed up their work in different tasks like solving isostatic and hyperstatic structures, concrete and steel member design, plotting moment and shear distribution etc.

Conclusion:

So learners, I discussed few new things with you about Python language and its applications. This will definitely boost you to start learning this language to add it in your skillset.
