Should I take Python in high school?

News at the beginning of 2017:

Zhejiang Province’s new information technology textbooks will soon be available to high school freshmen of the 2017 class (enrollment in September 2017) use. (Recommended learning: Python video tutorial)

It is understood that the information technology textbooks required for the current exam (can be understood as college entrance examination subjects) consist of 3 "Basics of Information Technology" ", "Multimedia Technology Application", and "Algorithm and Programming" are composed of three books, involving software (application software and programming software) including but not limited to,

Information technology basics: Excel, Access;

Multimedia technology application: Photoshop, Flash

Algorithm and programming: Visual Basic 6.0, the algorithm part only involves bubble, insertion sort, and binary search, different

will be modified later For

Cancel the "Multimedia Technology Application" module (that is, Photoshop and Flash will no longer be examined)

Cancel the examination of the use of Excel and Access software

The programming language will be changed to Python

Will use Python matplotlib pandas and directly program to draw charts, manipulate data, and perform data visualization to replace the previous knowledge about Excel and Access Inspection

-*** The algorithm and programming module will also use Python, and add basic data structure knowledge (linear data structure, and trees and binary trees in non-linear data structures) ***

Python has long been praised by the programming community. Life is short, so I use Python. Python is the best programming language in the world.

In fact, it has been since Last year, I began to notice the news that teacher Wu Junjie proposed to add Python to the information technology course content. Now Zhejiang is taking the lead. The teacher is a true pioneer and doer, and I sincerely admire him.

Python is a very excellent interpreted script Language, currently artificial intelligence/data mining/machine learning uses Python extensively. The demand for Python is gradually increasing, and Python also has a wealth of tools in the field of scientific research, such as pandas, numpy, scipy and other scientific computing tools.

It will be very useful for high school students to master some Python. And after simple learning of Python language, they can write some functional gadgets to improve the efficiency of daily work and study, and make life better.

I am a good example. You can read the script I posted before to process pictures and improve work efficiency. This is incompatible with the C language. After all, the C language is obscure and difficult to understand and is not suitable for computers. Beginners who must understand. For most high school students, if they learn VB or C and then use it in daily life, use it or lose it, and naturally forget about it. This is similar to how many engineering students in universities currently learn C language. The situation is the same.
