| An Imperative programming model is basically followed by C. |
An object-oriented programming model is basically followed by Python. |
| Variables are declared in C. |
Python has no declaration. |
| C doesn’t have native OOP. |
Python has OOP which is a part of the language. |
| Pointers are available in C language. |
No pointers functionality is available in Python. |
| C is a compiled language. |
Python is an interpreted language. |
| There is a limited number of built-in functions available in C. |
There is a large library of built-in functions in Python. |
| Implementation of data structures requires its functions to be explicitly implemented. |
It is easy to implement data structures in Python with built-in insert, append functions. |
| C is compiled directly to machine code which is executed directly by the CPU |
Python is firstly compiled to a byte-code and then it is interpreted by a large C program. |
| Declaring of variable type in C is a necessary condition. |
There is no need to declare a type of variable in Python. |
| C does not have complex data structures. |
Python has some complex data structures. |
| C is statically typed. |
Python is dynamically typed. |
Syntax of C is harder than python because of which programmers prefer to use python instead of C
|
It is easy to learn, write and read Python programs than C. |
| C programs are saved with .c extension. |
Python programs are saved by .py extension. |
| An assignment is allowed in a line. |
The assignment gives an error in line. For example, a=5 gives an error in python. |
| In C language testing and debugging is harder. |
In Python, testing and debugging are directly not harder than in C. |
| C is complex than Python. |
Python is much easier than C. |
The basic if statement in c is represented as:
if ()
|
The basic if statement in Python is represented as:
if:
|
|
The basic if-else statement in C is represented as:
if ( ){
}
else {
}
|
The basic if-else statement is represented as:
if :
else: |
| C language is fast. |
Python programming language is slow |
| C uses {} to identify a separate block of code. |
Python uses indentation to identify separate blocks of code. |
| It is mandatory to mark the end of every statement with a semicolon in C. |
It is not mandatory to mark the end of every statement with a semicolon in Python. |
