Relational operators in Python and in every other programming language for that matter, help us compare different values with one another. Relational operators also known as comparison operators are generally used as conditions in loops and conditional statements to perform specific functions. Epsilon in programming refers to a small quantity that represents a difference when
Global in a general sense refers to something that is known all over the world. Global comes from the word globe, hence it means relating to the whole planet. In the scope of programming, a global variable refers to a variable that is not only known by its name inside a function but can be

Regular expressions (Regex) in Python are used to identify patterns in text or strings. Python’s regular expression module is named ‘re’, housing various functions for identifying and manipulating patterns in strings. The re module has functions that match patterns, search for specific elements in a string, find sub-patterns, and split strings. Using regex can be

The import statement in Python allows us to access in built functions present in other files. Instead of writing one program over and over again for using it in various different functions, Python’s flexibility achieve this feat with just one statement. There are two major types of imports in Python: absolute imports and relative imports.

ValueErrors are a type of exception in Python. They are classified as runtime errors because they are not identifiable during the writing of a program, by the debugger, or by the syntax highlighters in IDEs. One common example of a ValueError is attempting to divide a number by zero. As there is no syntactical error

Sets in Python are unique data types. Apart from lists, tuples and dictionaries, sets are one of the most well known and sought after data storing variables. Sets unlike lists cannot be sliced or indexed, hence their processing speeds are faster than other data types. The type error in Python occurs when there is a
