MicroPython for Micro:bit - Introduction

MicroPython is a version of the Popular coding Language Python 3, That has been cut down and implemented on microcontrollers. If you have used Python and Arduino, you will know why this is something that would get us excited. The Arduino uses a version of the C programming language and although C is very powerful it is not the friendliest language to work with.

MicroPython. unlike C, is an interpreted language, so the code is not compiled beforehand it is executed at runtime. This can be good as it allows for fast easy coding but can also lead to problems as errors will not be caught until the code is run and introduces some overhead to computing your code.
