1. WHAT IS IDENTIFIER?
A name in a python program is called identifier.
This name can be,
o Package name
o Module name
o Variable name
o Function name
o Class name
o Method name

2. WHY SHOULD WE FOLLOW NAMING CONVENTIONS?

Python creator made some suggestions to the programmers


regarding how to write identifiers in a program.
While writing the program if we follow the naming conventions then
the written code is,

o Easy to understand.
o Easy to read.
o Easy to debug.

3. 5 POINTS TO FOLLOW FOR IDENTIFIERS IN PYTHON

# Point 1
While writing an identifier we can use,

oAlphabets, either upper case or lower case


oNumbers from 0 to 9
oUnderscore symbol (_)

If we are using any other symbol, then we will get syntax error.

# Point 2
We can write an identifier with number, but identifier should not start with digit.

7
Dr. Quadri Noorulhasan Naveed 7
# Point 3
Identifiers are case sensitive.

8
Dr. Quadri Noorulhasan Naveed 8
# Point 4
We cannot use keywords as identifiers.

9
Dr. Quadri Noorulhasan Naveed 9
# Point 5
Spaces are not allowed in between the identifier.

Examples

 435student # invalid
 Student564 # valid
 Student565info # valid
 $tudent # invalid
 _student_info # valid
 class # invalid
 def # invalid

5. COMMENTS IN PYTHON PROGRAM
There are two types of comments

1.Single line comments

2.Multi line comments

Purpose of comments
Comments are useful to describe about the code in an easy way.
Python ignores comments while running the program

12
Dr. Quadri Noorulhasan Naveed 12
5. COMMENTS IN PYTHON PROGRAM (Cont.)
1.Singe line comments
By using single line comment, we can comment only a single line.
To comment single line, we need to use hash symbol #

13
Dr. Quadri Noorulhasan Naveed 13
5. COMMENTS IN PYTHON PROGRAM (Cont.)
2.Multi line comments
By using multi line comment we can comment multiple lines.
To comment multiple lines, we need to use triple double quotes symbol.
