Case-sensitive

« Back to Glossary Index

If something is case-sensitive, it means that the capitalization matters when determining whether two items are the same. Python is a case-sensitive language; if you try to declare a boolean with true instead of True with a capital T, you will get an error. Similarly, if you declare an image with image eileen = "eileen.png" and then try to show it with show Eileen, you will get an error, because eileen is not the same as Eileen.
