Some Common Terms In Python Programming And Their Explanations_Part Two

 

1. Function

• Explanation: A function is a block of reusable code that performs a specific task. Functions can take inputs (called arguments) and return outputs.

Example:

def greet(name):
    return "Hello, " + name

2. Class

• Explanation: A class is a blueprint for creating objects (instances). It encapsulates data (attributes) and functions (methods) that operate on the data.

Example:

class Dog:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
    
    def bark(self):
        return "Woof!"

3. Object

• Explanation: An object is an instance of a class. It contains both data and methods that operate on the data.

Example:

my_dog = Dog("Buddy")  # my_dog is an object of the Dog class.

4. Loop

• Explanation: Loops are used to repeatedly execute a block of code as long as a condition is true. Common loops in Python are for and while.

Example:

for i in range(5):
    print(i)  # Prints numbers from 0 to 4.

5. Conditional Statement

• Explanation: Conditional statements allow you to execute certain blocks of code based on whether a condition is true or false. The if, elif, and else keywords are used for this purpose.

Example:

if age >= 18:
    print("Adult")
else:
    print("Minor")
