Our Python experts continue to work on this versatile programming language, specializing in all the tools, functions, and trends regarding it. When we talk about matrices in Python, we are referring to a specialized two-dimensional rectangular array of data, which is stored in rows and columns.
On this occasion, Freddy Rivero from Rootstack, teaches us in a video how to work with Python matrices. In Python, a matrix (or two-dimensional array) can be handled using nested lists or, more efficiently, with the NumPy library, which provides support for multidimensional arrays.
Python is considered one of the easiest programming languages to learn, ideal for those who are just starting out with programming. It is also one of the most widely used languages, Coursera said. According to the 2021 TIOBE ranking, Python is the second most popular language after C and its popularity continues to grow by the day.
Python can be used for game development. Some of the most popular games use Python in some way, such as The Sims 4, Battlefield 2, Overwatch, World of Tanks, among others.
But you should keep in mind that Python has limitations when creating video games, especially in terms of speed. “Speed is very bad, Python cannot be used for extremely fast or intense parts of a game. Many popular games have used Python on their servers and for the AI of their games, so you can use it that way,” they explained in a Quora forum.
