📖 Key Terms & Definitions
Glossary
Token (Lexical Unit)
The smallest individual unit recognized by the Python interpreter.
Dynamic Typing
Variable data types are bound during runtime rather than compile-time.
Immutable Object
Cannot be modified in-place (e.g.,
int, str, tuple).
Floor Division (//)
Returns the quotient truncated to the nearest lesser integer.
🎯 Most Important Questions (Click to Reveal)
CBSE Favorite
Q1. Why does
len('\n') evaluate to 1?
▼
An escape sequence consists of a backslash followed by a character, but Python parses it as a single non-printable character token.
Q2. Distinguish between
== and is operator.
▼
== checks for value equality, whereas is tests memory identity (whether both variables point to the same id()).
Q3. Predict output:
print(-7 // 2, 2 ** 3 ** 2)
▼
Output:
-4 512. Floor division rounds down towards negative infinity (-3.5 floors to -4), and exponentiation evaluates right-to-left (3**2=9, then 2**9=512).
💡 CBSE Exam Traps & Tips
Must Read
- Division Trap: True division
/in Python 3 always yields afloat(e.g.6 / 3produces2.0, not2). - Reserved Capitalization: Exactly three keywords start with an uppercase letter:
True,False, andNone. - Identifier Rules: Identifiers can never begin with digits or contain hyphens (e.g.
2nd_varandmy-valcause aSyntaxError).
