Python Keywords Quick Guide

The document provides a cheat sheet of common Python keywords, describing their functionality and providing simple code examples. Some key keywords covered include boolean values True and False, logical operators and, or, not, conditional execution with if/elif/else, loops with for and while, checking for inclusion with in, anonymous functions with lambda, and returning values from functions with return.

Python Cheat Sheet - Keywords

“​A puzzle a day to learn, code, and play

Keyword  Description  Code example 

False​, ​True  Boolean data types  False​ == (​1 ​> ​2​), ​True​ == (​2 ​> ​1​)

None  Empty value constant  ​ ​()​:


def​ f
x =​ 2
f() == ​None​ ​# True

and​, ​or​, ​not  Logical operators:  x, y = ​True​, ​False


(x ​and​ y)​ → both x and y must be True  (x ​or​ y) == ​True​ ​# True
(x ​or​ y)​ → either x or y must be True  (x ​and​ y) == ​False​ ​ True
#
(​not​ x)​ → x must be false  (​not​ y) == ​True​ ​ True
#

break  Ends loop prematurely  while​(​True​):


​break​ ​# no infinite loop
print(​"hello world"​)

c​ontinue  Finishes current loop iteration  while​(​True​):


​continue
print(​"43"​) ​# dead code

class Defines a new class → a real-world concept   class​ ​beer​:


(object oriented programming)  x = ​1.0​ ​# litre
  ​def​ ​drink​(self)​:
def  Defines a new function or class method. For latter,  self.x = ​0.0
first parameter (“self”) points to the class object.  b = beer() ​# creates class with constructor
When calling class method, first parameter is implicit.  b.drink() ​# beer empty: b.x == 0

if​, ​elif​, ​else  Conditional program execution: program starts with  x = int(input(​"your value: "​))
“if” branch, tries the “elif” branches, and finishes with  if​ x > ​3​:
“else” branch (until one branch evaluates to True).  print(​"Big"​)
elif​ x == ​3​:
print(​"Medium"​)
else​:
print(​"Small"​)

for​, ​while  # For loop declaration # While loop - same semantics


for​ i ​in​ [​0​,​1​,​2​]: j = ​0
print(i)  while​ j < ​3​:
print(j)
j = j + ​1

in  Checks whether element is in sequence  42​ ​in​ [​2​, ​39​, ​42​] ​# True

is  Checks whether both elements point to the same  y = x = 3


object  x​ ​is​ ​y​ ​# True
[​3​] ​is​ [​3​] ​# False

lambda  Function with no name (anonymous function)  (lambda​ x: x + ​3)(3)​ ​# returns 6

return  Result of a function  def​ i​ ncrementor​(x)​:


​return​ x + ​1
incrementor(​4​) ​# returns 5
