Errors and Others

except NameError:
  print("A NameError occurred.")

Conditions

    print("x is equal to zero.")
  elif x > 0:
    print("x is greater than zero.")
  else:

Lists

list1 = range(1, 8, 2) # equivalent to [1, 3, 5, 7]
print(list(list1))

print(len(my_list))

sublist = letters[1:6]
num_i = letters.count('i')

names.sort()
sorted_names = sorted(names)

my_info = ('Alapan', 19, 5.0)
name, age, version = my_info

Loops

# jump statements

continue

Lambda
