SQL is widely used in data analytics and is a valuable skill for anyone working with data.

Python is a high-level programming language used in data analytics because of its simplicity, versatility, and powerful libraries. Its ease-of-use and wide range of libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Scikit-learn make it an excellent choice for data manipulation, visualization, and machine learning. Python also offers interactivity, which allows users to explore and manipulate data in real-time, making it an ideal tool for data analysis.
