Python includes various data structures, standard libraries with
the implementation of sentiment analysis and data science code.

The real aim is to provide awareness to all the programmers about and programming languages some languages come under the

A. Dynamic Typing
‘I’m using python to for web scrapping’
Python uses dynamic typing. It can reassign variables to
different data types. This makes Python very flexible in
assigning data types; it differs from other languages that File "<ipython-input-4-da9a34b3dc31>", line 2
are statically typed.
‘I’m using python for web scrapping, but this will create an

integer value.
The correct one:
my_friends = [‘samy’,’frankie’]
"I'm using Python for web scrapping!"
When we run this code in Python it replaces the integer value
into a list. It shows the dynamic behaviour in Python. It’s a very
C. String Indexing

[8].
As we discuss earlier that strings can make a sequence of letters
and to find the particular position of a letter we can use indexing
with string. This is a powerful feature of Python. For this task

various data structures. In Python to create a string we can use
either single quotes or double quotes [3].
S = ‘sentiment analysis’
Strings are used to store various records as a text like names,

indexing with string and work on particular positions of
letters[6,8]. For example:

To create a string in Python you need to use either single S[:] = ‘Hello World’ S[1:] = ‘ello world’
quotes or double quotes. For example:
S[:3] = ‘Hel’ S[-1] = ‘d’
# single word
String can be used as the concept of immutability. It is the
‘sentiment’ process in which when we create a string then the elements of
that string cannot be replaced or changed.

Python. As the polarity of any sentence lies between -1 to +1,
we can say that the above text is a positive statement.
