CS 16Introduction to Python - 2018Introduction to Algorithms and Data StructuresIntroduction to Python - 20181 What is Python ?A snake! A snake! A scaaary snake? Yes, but Python is also a programming language thatyou ll be learning this semester! Python bears some resemblance to Java, but in generalit is cleaner and easier to read. There are a few important differences from Java that youshould note:First, you don t need to declare the types of variables. Thus, you writex = 1ratherthanint x = 1. Variables do have types, but you don t need to announce the type whenyou first use a variable. In fact, you can writex = 1and thenx = "abcd"in the sameprogram; after the first assignment, x is an integer; after the second, it s a string.
