• Printing to Standard Error (stderr) in Python

  By default, the print function prints a string to standard output (stdout), but you can specify a different output destination with the file argument. When you pass sys.stderr as this argument, the print function prints the string to standard error. You can also use the write method of sys.stderr to output, but unlike the print function, it does not automatically insert a newline.

  When you don’t want to do anything in an if statement when a condition is met or not met, you can use the pass statement.

• Python - Getting the index with a for loop

  By using the built-in function enumerate, you can get both the index and the value of a list at the same time. enumerate is a built-in function that takes an iterable object (such as a list, tuple, or string) as input, assigns an index to each element, and returns a pair of the index and element.

• Python - Preventing Line Breaks with the print Function

  If you don’t want to output a line break with the print function, specify an empty string for the end argument.
