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
