What are Python Keywords

Keywords are the reserved words in Python programming language (and, any other programming languages like C, C++, Java, etc) whose meanings are defined and we cannot change their meanings. In python programming languages, keywords are the case sensitive.

Note: We cannot use any reserved words (which are known as Keywords) as an identifier (like a variable name, function name, etc).
