Python Flow Control : Pass Statement
In this article, you'll learn about pass statement. It is used as a placeholder for future implementation of functions, loops, etc.
What is pass statement in Python?
In Python programming,
pass
is a null statement. The difference between a comment and pass
statement in Python is that, while the interpreter ignores a comment entirely, pass
is not ignored.
However, nothing happens when pass is executed. It results into no operation (NOP).
Syntax of pass
pass
We generally use it as a placeholder.
Suppose we have a loop or a function that is not implemented yet, but we want to implement it in the future. They cannot have an empty body. The interpreter would complain. So, we use the
pass
statement to construct a body that does nothing.Example: pass Statement
We can do the same thing in an empty function or class as well.
