Learn how to avoid the mutable default argument problem in Python and how to properly initialize mutable objects as default arguments. Understand the behavior of mutable and immutable objects and how they affect your code.
Discover a unique Python quirk: logical operators returning the last evaluated operand. Learn how this behavior affects code execution, enables clever 'code golf' tricks, and provides intuitive ways to handle default values. Explore examples with 'and' and 'or' operators that might surprise even experienced Python developers.
Explore the fascinating world of XOR encryption! Learn how this simple logical operator creates perfectly balanced output, making it a powerful tool for secure data encryption. Discover why XOR outperforms AND and OR in cryptography, and experiment with an interactive demonstration to see these operators in action.
