Python Coding Colors
While coding Python in the Playgroud, I've noticed text colors for some of the different data types and functions (apologies if those aren't the correct terms, I'm quite new). For example, integers/numbers are orange, the def function is purple, and strings are green. Are the colors universally consistent on any application or device Python is coded on? And, if they are, what are some of the main colors I can expect to see, and what do they represent? Thank you! <3

This is called syntax highlighting.
They are not universally consistent across text editor.
In fact, some text editor have different themes to let you choose from, even let you modify the highlighting.

Your observation about Python coding colors in the Playground is accurate, and these color conventions are often consistent across various Python development environments and editors. While specific color schemes can vary, the orange for integers, purple for the def function, and green for strings are commonly used. The color differentiation helps visually distinguish between different elements in your code, making it more readable and aiding in error identification.

Thank you, Wong Hei Ming! That makes perfect sense :)

Vivienne Medrano So, the color correlations I mentioned (and probably others too) are commonly used in many Python editors, however there IS some variation, and in some editors, you can even customize the colors?
I've already been using it to help me find errors, and like, props to whoever came up with syntax highlighting because it's fabulous-
