Bot Metin2 Dev 4929 Posted March 19, 2018 Bot Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hello developers, especially Python ones! Here am I to create a discussion about Python. I would like to hear your thoughts on this programming language. Why do you like it and why don't? Through working with M2 I spent the most time in C++, C# and LUA. Now I decided to do some stuffs in my client but I'm really disgusted with it's syntax. Why did Ymir choose this language? Are there any better scripting language alternatives? Here are a few examples that making me want to drive up a wall: no data types no semicolons import command does not distinguish python includes and my includes (like C do by "" and <>) Correct: if (ASSEMBLY and ARPA): return 1 Incorrect: if (ASSEMBLY && ARPA): return 1 Correct: JesusHere = { "WHY" : Locale.WHY, "SO" : Locale.SO, "SERIOUS" : Locale.SERIOUS, } Incorrect: JesusHere = { "WHY" : Locale.WHY, "SO" : Locale.SO, "SERIOUS" : Locale.SERIOUS, } Correct: def printme(str): "This prints a passed string into this function." print str return Incorrect: def printme(str) { "This prints a passed string into this function." print str return } 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasho 244 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) no data types In every language exist data types, but in Python the declaration happens automatically when you assign a value to a variable not need to specify which type to be like int, float, string etc..and you can do assignation with another data type just with operator '=', without killing language like C++ assignation between std::vector & std::map, here is more easy. no semicolons The semicolon here does not do anything, but exist and can be used with no problems, does let you use to denote the end of a statement if you are including more than one statement on a line. import command does not distinguish python includes and my includes (like C do by "" and <>) #include and import are quite different, C/C++ is a compiled language, C++ you do #include <library> and in Python you have this syntax for import the content of another program file in your own. (i can't explain it very good the difference because have no-sense) Spoiler Two or more physical lines may be joined into logical lines using backslash characters (\) - backslash . JesusHere =\ { [....] } As i said don't try to search difference between 2 languages which both are amazing in them way, Python was choosed by YMIR for write the GUI Engine because is a easy language and flexible instead of C++ or any variants, if you are good at C/C++, you can easily learn Python in some weeks because that is more easy than it.. Some difference between them are: Python uses Garbage Collection whereas C++ does not. C++ is a statically typed language, while Python is a dynamically typed language. Python is easier to use than C++. Python is run through an interpreter, whilst C++ is pre-compiled. Hence, C++ is faster than Python. C++ supports pointers and incredible memory management. Python supports very fast development and rapid, continuous language development. Python has less backwards compatibility. Majority of all applications are built from C++. Majority of all 3D applications offer Python access to their API's. Python code tends to be 5 to 10 times shorter than that written in C++. In Python, there is no need to declare types explicitly. Smaller code size in Python leads to leads to "rapid prototyping", which offers speed of development. Python requires an engine to run. Python is interpreted each time it runs. Python is hard to install on a Windows box and thus makes distribution of the program problematic. C++ is a pure binary that links to existing libraries to assist the coding. In Python, variables are in scope even outside the loops in which they are first instantiated. In Python, a function may accept an argument of any type, and return a value of any type, without any kind of declaration beforehand. Python provides flexibility in calling functions and returning values. Python looks cleaner, is object oriented, and still maintains a little strictness about types. @difference-between-cplusplus-and-python Edited August 20, 2022 by Metin2 Dev Core X - External 2 Internal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
