I have just begun my training with the python programming language. The training for this certification is a little slower so my posts will likely be shorter than they were during my studying for the VCP-DCV exam. To start off I discovered that Python is known as an interpreted language. This means that the language requires the use of an interpreter to be ran. So what this means is when you write a python program it translates the code every time it needs to be ran so the file remains saved in your original python code, thereby not converting the file itself into machine code, the disadvantage of this is that anybody who’s runs this code will need to run it using an interpreter and the code will be interpreted every time it is ran where with compilation it will only be ran once and never again, unless changes are made to the code. As I move forward with my training I hope to provide so actual programs that I have written for you to run and test out. As always if anyone has any questions feel free to leave a comment!
