Python MCQs

Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation. It can be used for both small- and large-scale projects as its object-oriented approach aims to help programmers write clear, logical codes.

Python is typically used for website and software development, task automation, data analysis, and data visualization. Python is easier to learn than other programming languages. It is used by many non-programmers, such as accountants and scientists, in various day-to-day tasks such as organising finances.
