4. Python is great for people new in coding. The mechanics of it is basic enough to understand yet complex enough to use on multi platforms.

3. White space can confuse beginners as spaces change depending on the program.

## Pros and Cons of Python
### Pros
1. Easy to read, learn, and write.
2. Interactive language with a module support for almost all functionality.
3. Open Source: You can contribute to the community and help others with the functions you have developed.
4. A lot of good interpreters and notebooks available for better experience like jupyter notebook.
5. It is a very easy language debug. To check if a small bit of code works or not, you can just open up the interpreter and test.
6. There are multiple libraries available for Python, like numpy, pandas, etc., to make doing complex operations easy!

### Cons
- Being open source, many different ways have developed over the years for the same function. This sometimes creates chaos for others to read someone else's code.
- It is a slow language. So, a very bad language to use for developing general algorithms.
- Python is dynamically typed, so the errors in code only show up after running an application.
- Python is not the best langauge to use if your project requires efficient memory management.
- White space can confuse beginners, as spaces may change depending on the program.
