Python keywords - reserved words

python keywords - reserved words

problem

You’re learning Python and came across the keywords or identifiers. Each programming language has its own reserved words that are used to write up the program. Those words cannot be used by the programmer, for example as variable names or as function names. In this post we will see a list of Python’s reserved words.

SOLUTION

The identifiers are words, therefore can be saved in a string variable. String offers a function for checking whether the contents of a string matches an identifier or not; regardless if it’s written with capital or lower letters. For example we can check as follows:

keywords.py

				
					word = "break"
word.isidentifier() #will give us True

keywords.py

				
					word = "car"
word.isidentifier() #will give us False

keywords.py

				
					Word = "tRue"
word.isidentifier() #will give us True

keywords

The keywords are listed below:

False
True
None
await
if
else
elif
import
from
as
pass
try
except
finally
raise
in
is
class

global
nonlocal
while
for
break
continue
assert
del
not
and
or
with
async
yield
def
return
lambda

conclusion

In this post we saw the keywords of Python that are disallowed for usage by the programmer.
