  3. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    The eval() vs. exec() built-in functions (in Python 2, exec is a statement); the former is for expressions, the latter is for statements; Statements cannot be a part of an expression—so list and other comprehensions or lambda expressions, all being expressions, cannot contain statements.

  4. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    Python supports a wide variety of string operations. Strings in Python are immutable, so a string operation such as a substitution of characters, that in other programming languages might alter the string in place, returns a new string in Python. Performance considerations sometimes push for using special techniques in programs that modify ...

  5. Working directory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_directory

    In computing, the working directory of a process is a directory of a hierarchical file system, if any, [nb 1] dynamically associated with the process. It is sometimes called the current working directory (CWD), e.g. the BSD getcwd [1] function, or just current directory. [2]

  6. Function object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_object

    In Python, functions are first-class objects, just like strings, numbers, lists etc. This feature eliminates the need to write a function object in many cases. Any object with a __call__() method can be called using function-call syntax. An example is this accumulator class (based on Paul Graham's study on programming language syntax and ...

  7. Longest common substring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_substring

    The array L stores the length of the longest common suffix of the prefixes S[1..i] and T[1..j] which end at position i and j, respectively. The variable z is used to hold the length of the longest common substring found so far. The set ret is used to hold the set of strings which are of length z.

  8. Zen of Python - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_of_Python

    The Zen of Python is a collection of 19 "guiding principles" for writing computer programs that influence the design of the Python programming language. [1] Python code that aligns with these principles is often referred to as "Pythonic". [2] Software engineer Tim Peters wrote this set of principles and posted it on the Python mailing list in ...

  9. Command (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_(computing)

    The meaning of command is highly dependent on context. For example, some authors refer to conditionals as commands [1] while they are called expressions in Python [2] or Bash [3] and statements in Java. [4] Similarly, writing to stdout is done in Bash with the builtin command printf, while it is done with the built-in function print() in Python ...
