Question

What are the key differences between Python 2.7.x and Python 3.x?

Answer 1

Answer:

Python 3.0 was released in Dec. 2008. It was designed to rectify certain flaws in earlier version. The guiding principle of Python 3 was: "reduce feature duplication by removing old ways of doing things". Python 3.0 doesn’t provide backward compatibility. That means a Python program written using version 2.x syntax doesn’t execute under python 3.x interpreter. Ver 2.7 is the final major release in Python 2.x series.

Although there are quite a few differences in usages of these two versions, the most obvious ones are mentioned below −

print is a keyword in Python 2.7 but has been included as built-in function in Python 3.x. As a result parentheses are mandatory while using it in Python 3 code

print “Hello World” # is acceptable in Python 2 but not in Python 3

print (“Hello World”) #acceptable in Python 2 and Python 3

raw_input() − function from Python 2.7 has been deprecated. The input() function treats the received data as string only.

Integer division − functionality has been changed in Python 3. In Python 2.x, 5/2 results in 2, but in Python 3.x, 5/2 is 2.5

UNICODE − In Python 3.x a string is Unicode by default. In Python 2.x, string has to be explicitly defined as Unicode by prefixing it with ‘u’ ( e.g. u’hello’)

Long integer − In Python 3.x, integer objects are long by default. In Python 2.x, an integer has to be postfixed by L (e.g. 100L)

Explanation:

Ohm's Law is a formula used to calculate the relationship between voltage, current and resistance in an electrical circuit. To students of electronics, Ohm's Law (E = IR) is as fundamentally important as Einstein's Relativity equation (E = mc²) is to physicists. E = I x R.
