None keyword in Python | Example code

“None keyword” is used to define variables or objects without any values. If you assign a None value to a variable or object then it same as a null value, or no value at all.

var = None

Note: The “None” is not the same as zero, False, or an empty string. It is an object of the class NoneType.

var2 = None

print(id(var1))
print(id(var2))
