PYTHON 3.6

 Python 3.6, released in December 2016, brought several new features and improvements to the Python programming language.

Here are some key aspects of Python 3.6:

1. Formatted String Literals (F-strings): Python 3.6 further enhanced formatted string literals, also known as "F-strings." This feature allowed for more flexibility and expressiveness in string formatting, including support for expressions and method calls within the string interpolation.

2. Syntax Simplifications:

   • Python 3.6 introduced syntax simplifications and improvements, such as the ability to use underscores in numeric literals for better readability (e.g., 1_000_000 instead of 1000000).
   • The async and await keywords introduced in Python 3.5 were further refined for better usability and clarity in asynchronous programming.

3. Dictionary Enhancements:

   • Python 3.6 introduced a new syntax for dictionary comprehensions, allowing for cleaner and more concise creation of dictionaries using comprehensions similar to list comprehensions.
   • Additionally, dictionaries in Python 3.6 preserved insertion order, meaning the order of elements in a dictionary now reflects the order in which they were inserted, improving predictability.

4. Type Hints Enhancements:

   • Python 3.6 extended support for type hints introduced in Python 3.5 by providing better integration with third-party tools and libraries for static type checking and analysis.
   • Type hints became more widely adopted in the Python ecosystem, aiding in code maintenance and improving code quality in larger projects.

5. Performance Improvements:

   • Python 3.6 included various optimizations and performance improvements, resulting in faster execution times for certain operations and reduced memory usage in some cases.
   • Notably, Python 3.6 introduced a new method resolution order (MRO) algorithm, known as C3 linearization, which improved the efficiency of method resolution in classes with multiple inheritance.

6. Security Enhancements:

   • Python 3.6 included security enhancements and updates to address potential vulnerabilities, improving the overall security of the language and runtime environment.

Python 3.6 further solidified Python's position as a powerful and modern programming language, with features and improvements aimed at enhancing developer productivity, readability, performance, and security.
