Python Tokens

Python is a general purpose, high-level programming language that was created in 1991. It can be used to build desktop GUI apps, websites, and web apps. Python has a set of valid characters including letters, digits, special symbols, and whitespace. Keywords are reserved words that have special meaning, while identifiers name variables, functions, and modules - they must start with a letter or underscore and cannot be keywords. Python supports numeric, string, boolean, and special literals as constants, and features common operators like arithmetic, relational, logical, assignment, membership, identity, bitwise, and shift operators. When multiple operators have the same precedence, associativity determines the order of operations from left to right.

Python Fundamentals

What is Python?

Python is a general purpose and high level programming


language.

You can use Python for developing desktop GUI applications,


websites and web applications.
It was released in 1991 by Guido van Rossum.
Character Set

Set of valid characters that a language can recognize

1. Letters-A to Z,a to z
2. Digits-0 to 9
3. Special Symbols-+,-,*,%,/,//,{},[],(),# etc
4. White Spaces -blank space,new line etc
Tokens
Keywords/Reserved Words

● Keywords are the words that convey a special meaning to the language
processor.
● They can be used only for special purpose
Identifiers

Identifier is a name used to identify a variable,function,module etc

Rules for naming a variable:

● The first character must be a letter or underscore(_)


● Only Special character allowed is (_)
● No keywords
● No space
Constants/Literals

Numeric String Boolean Special literal

Integer True

Float False None

2. >> shift right
Associativity of Python Operators

When two operators have the same precedence, associativity helps to


determine the order of operations.

Associativity is the order in which an expression is evaluated that has


multiple operators of the same precedence. Almost all the operators have
left-to-right associativity.
