Why Noida Students Are Choosing Python Programming in 2026

# Python — readable and simple
names = ["Amit", "Priya", "Rahul"]
for name in names:
    print(f"Hello, {name}!")

Popular uses:
- Data science (pandas, NumPy)
- Machine learning (TensorFlow, PyTorch)
- Web backends (Flask, Django)
- Automation (scripts, Selenium)
- Testing (pytest, Playwright)
- Scripting / DevOps

# Data science example
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("sales.csv")
summary = df.groupby("category")["revenue"].sum()
print(summary.sort_values(ascending=False))

# Flask backend example
from flask import Flask, jsonify

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/api/health")
def health():
    return jsonify({"status": "ok"})

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()
