Open P File
Files with the extension P are used to store programming source code, written in various languages.
Pascal
P files can contain information generated in Pascal.
The Pascal programming language was introduced in the 1970s, and quickly met with impressive success, as it was used as a reference to teach students at university, and was used by many computer professionals in their day-to-day lives.
Pascal owes its success to three main characteristics that define it:
- Clarity: That it can be understood when the code is read, that is, if a program is clearly written, it must be possible for another programmer to follow the logic without effort.
- Readability. It doesn't matter what the code means, as long as it is correctly tabulated and arranged to be readable.
- Effectiveness. Here we talk about execution speed and efficient use of computer resources, especially memory.
Pascal has its roots in the ALGOL 60 language, but it improved on the concept by allowing the definition of data types and building dynamic and recursive data structures.
Python
The Python programming language also uses this P extension to store Python module files that are not yet in byte-stamp format.
Python is a high-level programming language that is used to develop applications of all kinds.
Unlike other languages such as Java or .NET, it is an interpreted language, that is, it is not necessary to compile it to run applications written in Python, but rather they are executed directly by the computer using a program called an interpreter, so that it is not necessary
to 'translate' it into machine language.
Python supports vector and matrix operations, functions, lambda calculus, and object-oriented programming.
MATLAB
MATLAB uses this P extension to store runtime binaries within the application.
MATLAB is a complete environment for the analysis and mathematical processing of data of scientific origin.
It has a programming engine with its own language which in turn is called MATLAB and is the technical calculation language, also developed by MathWorks, which is used for the development of algorithms, data analysis, visualization and numerical calculation.
MATLAB also has a simulation environment called SIMULINK that makes use of the P extension files.
MATLAB is an interpreted language, based on Python and can be executed both in the interactive environment, and through a script file with the extension M.
This language allows vector and matrix operations, functions, lambda calculus, and object-oriented programming.
