PYTHON vs. C

Python was created by Guido van Rossum, and was made public on February 20, 1991 while C Language was developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1972 at the AT&T Bell Laboratories.

Python is a high-level,programming language. Its design emphasises code readability with the use of significant indentation. Python is dynamically typed and garbage-collected.

Applications :

Python is used in Web development, Scientific computing, Data Analysis, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and so on, While C language is used in system programming and operating System.

Syntax :

Python Syntax are easy to learn and understand while C programming language are complicated as compared to Python, One must have good knowledge of standard library used and their function.

Performance :

Python is slow as it is an interpreted language on the other hand C has high performance and has high efficiency as it compiles directly to machine code and provides low-level control over system resource.

Both Python and C Language are considered to be beginner-friendly language as python provides straightforward syntax and high-level abstractions and C Language teaches low-level nature and manual memory management. I have provided resource at the bottom of the article from where you can download and use Python and C/C++ compiler.
