I know HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript.  I now wanna move into higher tier programming languages (I know a little c++).  Anyways can anyone tell me what python is other than a "scripting language"?

Thanks ! :D

1) Please learn to spell properly, use proper grammar, and how to capitalize things.  Also, please learn how to not put 15 bloody returns after each line which isn't needed.  You will be warned for spam if you continue to do this. (So think of this as your first warning).

2) Python is a scripting language.  That's it.  Boo is a scripting language based off of python.  Perl, Bash, Shell, and Lua are other examples of scripting languages.

Please be more clear with your questions.

Edit: I have cleaned up your post.  Also, "Higher Tier" Programming languages doesn't exist.  I believe you mean "Higher Level" and well C++ is lower level than HTML, PHP, CSS, or JavaScript.  Python is even higher level than C++ too.

I have dreamed a dream, but now that dream has gone from me.  In its place now exists my own reality, a reality which I have created for myself by myself.

What CAN python be used for? Python can be used for whatever the fuck you feel like doing.


Also, do you actually "know" those languages? Because if you did, I highly doubt you would be asking what python can do....

I already don't like you, and it's very obvious you know none of those languages, and I'm sure you don't even know HTML which is the easiest one lol. Also in the 2 posts you have, they have been completely stupid


Code: (cpp) [Select]
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
cout << "Please GTFO";
return 0;
}

This question is rather dumb. Same as asking can a hammer be used for something else rather than hitting things.
Python is a scripting language. Any language is a tool. The coder decides how to use a tool. So it's up to you to decide for what to use Python, but it's a scripting language, so you can make other tools with it.

Can you upload it to a server? What is python?
Depends on the server. If you have a dedicated box and you have full control over it, then sure. Shared hosts do not allow that and has strict rules what can be ran and what cannot.
