This highly interactive and advanced course will give you insight into the most common Python tricks and tips. This course is for practicing Python programmers who are aiming for proficiency in Python 3. If you want to switch from Python 2 to Python 3, this is your go-to course. 

This course will help you learn the Pythonic Way of writing code and leveraging advanced robust features to become more proficient than the average developer. You’ll start by covering Python’s built-in data structures, and then you’ll move on to different programming paradigms like functional programming and object-oriented programming. 

In the latter half of the course, you’ll focus on iterables, generators, and coroutines. You’ll also have the opportunity to work on two projects to help strengthen what you learn. In all, this course is perfect for anyone who wants to become a confident and competent Pythonista by picking up the idioms and practical tips.

Mastering the Art of Programming in Python 3

You may be startled to learn that the scope of the `else` block exists _beyond_ the `if` statement. The `else` clause also works with the `for`, `while` and `try` statements.

Python follows a specific code of behavior when extending the `else` scope. Let's get acquainted with it before running a few examples.

+ `for`:  The `for` loop _running to its completion_ is a requisite. The `else` block will run only if the `for` loop does not abort with a `break` statement in between. 

+ `while`: If `while` loop terminates because the condition becomes false, then we can run `else` block. But, what if a `break` statement aborts it? In this case, the control will not be transferred to the `else` block.

+ `try`: We can use `else` block if no exception is raised in the `try` block. Exceptions in the `else` clause aren't handled by the preceding `except` clauses.

Why use `else` with these statements? The idea is so simple. It saves us the hassle of setting up control flags and using extra `if` statements. To prehend this concept, let's code.

# `else` with `for`
Below is a simple example demonstrating the use of `else` with `for` statement.
