Python List
Comprehensions
Python List Comprehensions are a powerful feature that allows
you to create lists in a concise and expressive manner.
They consist of square brackets containing an expression
followed by a for clause, which iterates over elements, and
optionally, one or more for or if clauses for filtering or
additional iterations
Simplifies code and reduces the number of lines.
Enhances readability and clarity, making code more
maintainable.
Often performs better in terms of execution speed
compared to traditional loops.
Encourages the use of Pythonic idioms, promoting elegant
and efficient code.
