What exactly are keywords?

Python has a set of keywords that are reserved words that cannot be used as variable names, function names, or any other identi ers

# and, or, if, else, None, True, False, break, continue

break and coninue keyword is used when we want to stop at a certain point or want to skip something particular in a loop /

Generally we use these break and continue statemnents when there is need of speci c conditions

# # break keyword in while loop

# while True:
# porosity = float(input('Enter a porosity value: '))
# if porosity < 0.6:
# print('Thanks for the input!')
# break
# else:
# print('You entered an unrealistic porosity value. Enter the value again!')

while True:
porosity = float(input('Enter a porosity value: ')) /

if porosity <= 0.4:

print('You have entered a realistic porosity value')
break
else:
print('Value of porosity is unrealistic')

Enter a porosity value: 31516513

Value of porosity is unrealistic
Enter a porosity value: 68465132
Value of porosity is unrealistic
Enter a porosity value: 0.9
Value of porosity is unrealistic
Enter a porosity value: 0.2
You have entered a realistic porosity value
