A type that represents sequences of characters.
A type that represents numbers with fractional parts.
A type that represents whole numbers.
A category of values. The types we have seen so far are integers (type int), floatingpoint numbers (type float), and strings (type str).
One of the basic units of data, like a number or string, that a program manipulates.
A special symbol that represents a simple computation like addition, multiplication, or string concatenation.
An instruction that causes the Python interpreter to display a value on the screen.
A set of instructions that specifies a computation.
Characters displayed by the interpreter to indicate that it is ready to take input from the user.
A program that reads another program and executes it
A property of a program that can run on more than one kind of computer.
A programming language that is designed to be easy for a computer to run; also called “machine language” or “assembly language”.
A programming language like Python that is designed to be easy for humans to read and write.
information hiding:
The principle that the interface provided by an object should not depend on its implementation, in particular the representation of its attributes.
The process of formulating a problem, finding a solution, and expressing it.
Pertaining to a function that can work with more than one type.
A programming pattern that checks the type of an operand and invokes different functions for different types.
Changing the behavior of an operator like + so it works with a programmer-defined type.
An argument that does not include a parameter name, so it is not a keyword argument.
The object a method is invoked on.
A function that is defined inside a class definition and is invoked on instances of that class.
A style of programming in which data and the operations that manipulate it are organized into classes and methods.
A language that provides features, such as programmerdefined types and methods, that facilitate object-oriented programming.
A statement that check a condition and raises an exception if it fails.
A condition that should always be true during the execution of a program.
A style of program design in which the majority of functions are pure.
A function that changes one or more of the objects it receives as arguments. Most modifiers are void; that is, they return None.
A function that does not modify any of the objects it receives as arguments. Most pure functions are fruitful.
A development plan that involves high-level insight into the problem and more planning than incremental development or prototype development.
A development plan that involves writing a rough draft of a program, testing, and correcting errors as they are found.
