🐍💡Want to know more about the history behind some concepts of Python?

Let’s meet some of Python’s grand-grand-parents! 👴👵
👇 C: The blocks

In some regards, the C programming language can be seen as the mother of most modern languages. It introduced “blocks” to structure programs, although they are limited by characters, not indentation

🐍💡 You need to understand Python well before you can write idiomatic code in it.

But what does that even mean?

Here are 9⃣ examples 👇 1⃣ Falsy and Truthy

Almost all data types can be interpreted as bool-ish. An empty list? Fals-y. A 3-character string? Truth-y

💡🐍These AI-generated avatar pictures have been trending for a while now

Today, we will have a look behind the scenes – let that sink in

🐍💡 Want even more clean code tips for #Python?

Let's have a look at how we could get rid of 𝚒𝚏 statements👇 If your function checks for a boolean, you can return it directly rather than building an 𝚒𝚏/𝚎𝚕𝚜𝚎 block around it:

🐍💡#Python is a very expressive language. So you can simplify your code a lot if you know about syntax and built-in functionality.

Here are some examples of writing more pythonic code 👇 Use 𝚊𝚕𝚕 and 𝚊𝚗𝚢 if you want to check if some criteria match all/any elements of a list rather than writing a loop

💡🐍 Usually, loops in Python are pretty straightforward. 🔁

Today, we have a look at some caveats. Use these tips to take unreadable code to the next level! 🆙

🧵👇 The expression in the head of the loop is evaluated for each iteration.

That means you can modify the iterable inside the loop's body and change the behaviour that way
