Differences Between Python 2 and Python 3
Python 2 and Python 3 are two major versions of the Python programming language. While both versions share many similarities, there are several key differences between them:
- Print Statement: In Python 2, the print statement is used as
print "Hello, World!"
, whereas in Python 3, it is used asprint("Hello, World!")
. - Integer Division: In Python 2, division of two integers returns an integer result, while in Python 3, it returns a float result.
- Unicode Support: Python 2 uses ASCII for strings by default, while Python 3 uses Unicode.
- Range Function: In Python 2, the
range()
function returns a list, while in Python 3, it returns a range object. - Exceptions: The syntax for raising exceptions has changed slightly between Python 2 and Python 3.
It is important to be aware of these differences when working with Python code to ensure compatibility and correct behavior across both versions.
