+Special ``_`` variable
+-------------------------
+
+There is a special variable ``_`` in interactive mode, stored in the :mod:`builtins` 
+module. It stores the result of the last evaluated expression (*except* ``None``
+— it remains unchanged).
+
+For example:
+
+   >>> _  # Not defined yet
+   Traceback (most recent call last):
+     File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
+       _
+   NameError: name '_' is not defined
+   >>> 1 + 2
+   3
+   >>> _
+   3
+   >>> print("1+2=3")
+   1+2=3
+   >>> _  # Doesn't store None returned by print()
+   3
+   >>> _+4
+   7
