Confused About differences between Major and Minor versions of python

Question

In my head i think that 2.x 3.x would be a major version. Then 2.7, 3.2 would be a minor version.

The problem is when i try to back to back it up with a google search i find nothing

is a lot of the info on Solo Learn courses like this?

Answer 1

A major version implies that backward compatibility can be broken. So between 2.x and 3.x, you cannot easily write code that is compatible with both versions.

However, with a minor version, you can (nearly) always do it : they are MEANT to be compatible.
