Python — Replacing for Loops to Be More Pythonic

Why Avoid for Loops?

You may ask why challenge yourself to avoid writing for loops in your code? Avoiding for loops in Python, a practice sometimes proposed to developers, is not about categorically dismissing for loops as bad or inefficient. Instead, it's an exercise aimed at broadening one's understanding of Python by exploring alternative constructs and features that can make code more concise, readable, and "Pythonic".

Typically, for loops are employed in scenarios such as:

• Extracting specific information from a sequence.
• Creating a new sequence from an existing one.
• Utilizing for loops has become habitual.

Fortunately, Python offers an array of tools designed to accomplish these tasks, requiring only a shift in mindset and a fresh perspective on tackling them.

By avoiding writing for loops, you can achieve the following benefits:

• Reduced amount of code: By utilizing built-in functions or list comprehensions in Python, you can often accomplish the same task that would otherwise require a for loop with fewer lines of code. This is because these constructs are designed to perform common operations more succinctly.
• Improved code readability…
