Python Data Types and Variables

A sequence of characters, often used to represent text or data.

A data type typically representing whole numbers without a fractional part.

A data type that can represent numbers with decimal parts.

In Python, input() takes user input and returns it as a string.

In Python, the int() function attempts to convert a string to an integer.

A loop that repeats as long as a given condition is true. Code within the loop is executed repeatedly until the condition becomes false.

The condition in a while loop that is evaluated to determine whether to continue executing the loop.

A statement that abruptly exits a loop, regardless of the loop condition.

A loop based on explicitly iterating through a sequence of items (e.g., a list), executing the loop body once for each item in the sequence.

A loop that runs indefinitely, without any condition to stop it. It usually requires an external factor (like a break statement or user interaction) to interrupt it.

A statement that stops executing the current iteration of a loop, but continues immediately with the next iteration if there is one.

A set of code that performs a specific task and can be called or invoked repeatedly.

The value that a function produces and returns to the point where it was invoked.

The process of executing function code. This involves running the code inside the function and potentially using the returned value.

A parameter is a variable that is passed to a function when it is called. These variables are then used within the function to carry out its operations.

A type of mathematical expression that involves multiplying a number by itself a specified number of times.

An operation that calculates the result of repeatedly increasing a value by a fixed percentage. It's commonly used to model compound interest growth.

The rate at which an investment grows each period (e.g., annually, monthly). Usually expressed as a percentage.

A variable that holds the amount of money invested or borrowed.

The number of years that an investment is held or borrowed.

A variable that increments the value of another variable by a certain step during each iteration of a loop. It is often used to track the number of iterations.

A condition that is evaluated at the beginning of each iteration of a loop to determine whether the loop should continue executing.
