Control Flow
Content for control-flow.
Functions
Define with def keyword. Parameters, return values. Default parameters, *args, **kwargs. Docstrings for documentation. Lambda functions.
Lists and Collections
Ordered, mutable sequences. Methods: append(), extend(), remove(), pop(), sort(). List comprehensions for concise iteration. Slicing with [start:end:step].
