A location of data (usually in memory or some other storage device).

An accumulator variable is a variable that is declared outside of a loop and used within a loop to keep track of information throughout all loop iterations. For example, you could create a 'total' variable outside of a loop and then add values to this variable from within the loop to create a running total of values. total = 0 while True: [..]

Data that is provided to a function when the function is called.

The assignment operator is used to tell Python to store information in a variable. The single equal sign ( = ) is the assignment operator in Python. For example: # assign the number 5 to the variable 'foo' foo = 5

The augmented assignment operators (+=, -=, /=, *=, etc) are 'shortcut' operators for a self-referential assignment. For example, these two statements are the same: a = a + 1 a += 1

Called from inside a loop, the break statement immediately terminates the loop and causes Python to continue the program starting on the line directly after the loop. For example: # this program prints all numbers from 0 to 4. # when a >= 5 we terminate the loop with a call to the "break" statement while True: print (a) a += 1 if a > [..]
