Last week we talked to you about Predefined functions in Python<\/a>, if you have not read it yet, we invite you to do so. Also, if you want to learn more about this fascinating language, we invite you to stop by our master in Advanced Programming in Python for Big Data, Hacking and Machine Learning. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week we are going to teach you nothing more and nothing less than 36 keywords<\/strong> that cannot be used as names of variables, functions or any other type of identifier anymore which are reserved words.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

List of reserved words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, if we want to see the list of reserved words,<\/strong> Depending on the version of Python we use, We start by putting the help() command in the console to access the help<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Image\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In our case we use version 3.9. Once inside the help, We type keywords to see the list:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reserved words in Python and their meaning <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next, let's quickly see what each of the reserved words <\/strong>more explicitly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. False <\/strong>\u2013 Boolean value, result of comparison operations or logical operations in Python<\/li>
  2. None<\/strong> \u2013 Represents a null value<\/li>
  3. true<\/strong> \u2013 Boolean value, same as false, result of comparison operations or logical operations in Python<\/li>
  4. __peg_parser__ <\/strong>\u2013 Called Easter egg, related to the launch of the new peg analyzer<\/a> It is not defined yet.<\/li>
  5. And <\/strong>\u2013 Logical operator<\/li>

  7. Assert <\/strong>\u2013 Used for debugging purposes<\/li>
  8. Async<\/strong> \u2013 Provided by the 'asyncio' library in Python. Used to write concurrent code in Python<\/li>
  9. Await<\/strong> \u2013 Provided by the 'asyncio' library in Python. Used to write concurrent code in Python<\/li>
  10. break<\/strong> \u2013 Used inside for and while loops to alter their normal behavior<\/li>

  12. Continue<\/strong> \u2013 Used inside for and while loops to alter their normal behavior<\/li>
  13. Def<\/strong> \u2013 used to define a user-defined function<\/li>
  14. Of the <\/strong>\u2013 To delete an object<\/li>
  15. Elif <\/strong>\u2013 Used in conditional statements, equal to 'else' and 'if'<\/li>
  16. Else<\/strong> \u2013 Used in conditional statements, same as 'elif' and 'if'<\/li>
  17. Except <\/strong>\u2013 Used to create exceptions, what to do when an exception occurs, same as 'raise' and 'try'<\/li>
  18. Finally<\/strong> \u2013 Its use ensures that the code block within it is executed even if there is an unhandled exception<\/li>
  19. For<\/strong> \u2013 Used to make loops. We generally use it when we know the number of times we want that loop to execute<\/li>
  20. desde<\/strong> \u2013 To import specific parts of a module<\/li>
  21. Global <\/strong>\u2013 To declare a global variable.<\/li>
  22. If<\/strong> \u2013 Used in conditional statements, same as 'else' and 'elif'<\/li>
  23. Import <\/strong>\u2013 To import a module<\/li>
  24. in<\/strong> \u2013 To check if a value is present in a list, tuple, etc. Returns True if the value is present, otherwise returns False<\/li>
  25. Es <\/strong>\u2013 Used to test if the two variables refer to the same object. Returns True if the objects are identical and False otherwise<\/li>

  29. Or<\/strong> \u2013 Logical operator<\/li>
  30. Pass<\/strong> \u2013 It is a null statement in Python. Nothing happens when it runs. Used as a placeholder.<\/li>
  31. Raise <\/strong>\u2013 Used to create exceptions, what to do when an exception occurs, same as 'except and 'try'<\/li>
  32. return <\/strong>\u2013 Used inside a function to exit and return a value. <\/li>
  33. try <\/strong>\u2013 Used to create exceptions, what to do when an exception occurs, same as 'raise' and 'except<\/li>
  34. While<\/strong> \u2013 Used to make loops.<\/li>
  35. With<\/strong> \u2013 Used to simplify exception handling<\/li>
  36. Yield<\/strong> \u2013 Used inside a function just like 'return', except that 'yield' returns a generator.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
