    a = "hello!" the condition def add(a, b):
    a.upper() # HELLO! c = a + b
    a.capitalize() # Hello! if cost < 10: print("the sum is", c)
    a.strip("!") # hello print("impulse buy") add(1, 2)
    a.index("e") # 2
    a.split("e") # ["h", "llo!"] Boolean operators “and”, “or” Keyword parameters

    Key Terms State diagram Diagramming what
    i = 2 different variables should hold at
    while i < 10000: different times in the execution of
    Variable A named “bucket” that you print("square:", i)
    can put data into. your application.
    i = i ** 2
    Assignment The act of putting data Interruption Exit loops prematurely Scope The idea that variables assigned
    into a variable. within functions aren’t accessible
    with break, skip to next iteration outside that function.
    Function A bit of code given a name. with continue
    Functions attached to objects are Refactor The process of converting

    known as “invoking” the function.
