Python Glossary

A programming glossary for Python for the beginner. If you want a more in-depth glossary, visit the Official Python Documentation.

Class

Python is a Language that supports the Object Oriented Programming paradigm. Like other OOP languages, Python has classes which are defined wireframes of objects. Python supports class inheritance. A class may have many subclasses but may only inherit directly from one superclass.

print("Hello, world!")

2. Variable

A variable is a name that refers to a value stored in memory.

x = 5

3. String

A string is a sequence of characters enclosed in single or double quotes.

message = "Hello, world!"

4. Integer

An integer is a whole number without a decimal point.

age = 30

5. Float

A float is a number with a decimal point.

pi = 3.14

6. List

A list is a collection of items, which can be of different types, enclosed in square brackets and separated by commas.

numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

7. Tuple

A tuple is an immutable collection of items, enclosed in parentheses and separated by commas.

coordinates = (10, 20)

8. Dictionary

A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs, enclosed in curly braces and separated by commas.

person = {'name': 'John', 'age': 30}

9. Function

A function is a block of reusable code that performs a specific task.

def greet(name):
    print("Hello, " + name + "!")

10. Module

A module is a file containing Python code that can be imported and used in other Python programs.

import math

11. Loop

A loop is a control structure that repeats a block of code multiple times.

for i in range(5):
    print(i)

12. Conditional Statement

A conditional statement is a control structure that executes different code blocks based on whether a condition is true or false.

if x > 0:
    print("Positive")
else:
    print("Negative")

13. Class

A class is a blueprint for creating objects that have similar attributes and methods.

class Car:
    def __init__(self, make, model):
        self.make = make
        self.model = model

14. Object

An object is an instance of a class.

car = Car("Toyota", "Camry")

15. Exception

An exception is an error that occurs during the execution of a program.

try:
    result = 10 / 0
except ZeroDivisionError:
    print("Cannot divide by zero")

16. Method

A method is a function that belongs to an object.

class Dog:
    def bark(self):
        print("Woof!")

17. Attribute
