Structural pattern matching is a powerful control flow construct invented decades ago that’s traditionally used by compiled languages, especially within the functional programming paradigm. Most mainstream programming languages have since adopted some form of pattern matching, which offers concise and readable syntax while promoting a declarative code style. Although Python was late to join the party, it introduced structural pattern matching in the 3.10 release. In this video course, you’ll: Master the syntax of the match statement and case clauses […]

Python makes extensive use of a type system known as duck typing. This system is based on an object’s behavior and interface. Many built-in classes and tools support this type system, which makes them pretty flexible and decoupled. Duck typing is a core concept in Python. Understanding it will give you deeper insight into how the language works and, more importantly, how to use this approach in your own code. In this video course, you’ll learn: What duck typing is […]
