A variable defined in a class and intended to be modified only at
|

class level (i.e., not in an instance of the class).

|
||||
coercion
|
||||
The implicit conversion of an instance of one type to another during an
|
||||
operation which involves two arguments of the same type. For example,
|
||||
``int(3.15)`` converts the floating point number to the integer ``3``, but
|
||||
in ``3+4.5``, each argument is of a different type (one int, one float),
|
||||
and both must be converted to the same type before they can be added or it
|
||||
will raise a :exc:`TypeError`. Without coercion, all arguments of even
|
||||
compatible types would have to be normalized to the same value by the
|
||||
programmer, e.g., ``float(3)+4.5`` rather than just ``3+4.5``.
|
||||
|
||||
complex number
|
||||
An extension of the familiar real number system in which all numbers are
|
||||
expressed as a sum of a real part and an imaginary part. Imaginary
