Why use Python?

It’s designed to be easy to read and write

Python code is easier to write, cleaner and clearer to read, and faster to get to the result you want.

Compare these two examples below. First is a piece of code written for the Arduino in C++:

#include “stdio.h”
void helloWorld() {
  printf(“hello world”);
}
void main() {
  helloWorld();
}

The second piece of code is written in Python:

def hello_world():
  print(“hello world)

hello_world()

As you can see, the Python code is simpler, easier to read, shorter and faster to write.
