Keyword-in-Python

The document provides an overview of Python keywords, which are reserved words with specific meanings and functions that cannot be redefined. It categorizes keywords into various groups such as boolean, operators, iteration, conditionals, return, and exception handling, providing examples for each. Additionally, it explains the implications of using these keywords in programming, including potential syntax errors.

Keywords

• Python keywords are unique words reserved with defined meanings and
functions that we can only apply for those functions. You'll never need to
import any keyword into your program because they're permanently
present.
• Python's built-in methods and classes are not the same as the keywords.
Built-in methods and classes are constantly present; however, they are not
as limited in their application as keywords.
• Assigning a particular meaning to Python keywords means you can't use
them for other purposes in our code. You'll get a message of SyntaxError if
you attempt to do the same. If you attempt to assign anything to a built-in
method or type, you will not receive a SyntaxError message; however, it is
still not a smart idea.

❖ True, False, None Keyword

• True: This keyword is used to represent a boolean true. If a statement


is true, “True” is printed.
• False: This keyword is used to represent a boolean false. If a statement
is false, “False” is printed.
• None: This is a special constant used to denote a null value or a void.
It’s important to remember, 0, any empty container(e.g. empty list)
does not compute to None.

1. print( 4 == 4 )
2. print( 6 > 9 )
3. print( True or False )

Output:

True
False
True

❖ Operator Keywords: and, or, not, in, is


• Several Python keywords are employed as operators to perform
mathematical operations.
• In many other computer languages, these operators are represented by
characters such as &, |, and!. All of these are keyword operations in Python:

Operations Languages Keyword

AND, ∧ && and

OR, ∨ || or

NOT, ¬ ! not

CONTAINS, ∈ in

IDENTITY === is

Example:

x = 10
y=3

addition = x + y
comparison = x > y
logical_and = x > 5 and y < 5
assignment = x += y

print("Addition:", addition)
print("Comparison:", comparison)
print("Logical AND:", logical_and)
print("Assignment:", assignment)

Output:

Addition: 13
Comparison: True
Logical AND: False
SyntaxError: cannot use assignment expressions with subscript

❖ Iteration Keywords – for, while, break, continue

• for: This keyword is used to control flow and for looping.


• while: Has a similar working like “for”, used to control flow and for
looping.
• break: “break” is used to control the flow of the loop. The statement is
used to break out of the loop and passes the control to the statement
following immediately after loop.
• continue: “continue” is also used to control the flow of code. The
keyword skips the current iteration of the loop but does not end the
loop.

Examples:

# Using the "for" loop to iterate through a list


numbers = [1, 2, 3]
for num in numbers:
print(num)
# Using the "while" loop for conditional iteration
count = 0
while count < 3:
print("Count:", count)
count += 1

Output:

1
2
3

0
1
2

❖ Conditional keywords – if, else, elif

• if : It is a control statement for decision making. Truth expression


forces control to go in “if” statement block.
• else : It is a control statement for decision making. False expression
forces control to go in “else” statement block.
• elif : It is a control statement for decision making. It is short for “else
if“

Examples:

# Checking if a number is positive


number = 10

if number > 0:
print("The number is positive.")

Output:

The number is positive.

❖ Return Keywords – Return, Yield

• return : This keyword is used to return from the function.


• yield : This keyword is used like return statement but is used to return
a generator.

❖ Exception Handling Keywords - try, except, raise, finally,


and assert
• try: This keyword is designed to handle exceptions and is used in
conjunction with the keyword except to handle problems in the program.
When there is some kind of error, the program inside the "try" block is
verified, but the code in that block is not executed.
• except: As previously stated, this operates in conjunction with "try" to
handle exceptions.
• finally: Whatever the outcome of the "try" section, the "finally" box is
implemented every time.
• raise: The raise keyword could be used to specifically raise an exception.
• assert: This method is used to help in troubleshooting. Often used to
ensure that code is correct. Nothing occurs if an expression is interpreted
as true; however, if it is false, "AssertionError" is raised. An output with
the error, followed by a comma, can also be printed.
