In a compiled language, the programmer writes a program in a programming language that is human readable. Then, a program called a compiler translates this program into a set of 0s and 1s known as an executable file that the computer will understand. It's this executable file that the computer runs.

Strings what you use to represent text. Strings are a sequence of characters, enclosed in single quotes or double quotes. >> x = "hello" >> y = 'world' >> print x, y hello world There is difference between single quotes and double quotes, they can used interchangebly.

> istrcmp('LaTeX', 'Latex') True > istrcmp('a', 'b') False
Modules are libraries in Python. Python ships with many standard library modules. A module can be imported using the import statement. Lets look at time module for example: >> import time >> time.asctime()
