When you run code in Python, there’s a lot happening under the hood. This course sheds light on some of the interesting parts of Python you might be unaware of. 

As you progress through it, you’ll learn some tools and tricks that every Python programmer should know to avoid common mistakes. You can think of the course as a “Python hacks” handbook. 

Python basics are a prerequisite, but this is a beginner-level course. Each lesson is independent and after the first chapter, you can pick up from any lesson and you’ll be able to follow along comfortably.

Python FTW: Under the Hood

```notebook
TypeError: some_func() missing 1 required positional argument: 'x'
```

What should the output of the following snippet be?

```py
funcs = []
for x in range(7):
    def some_func(x=x):
        return x * x
    funcs.append(some_func)

funcs_results = [func() for func in funcs]
print(funcs_results)
```

What should the output of the following snippet be?
<pre><code class="language-py">funcs = []
for x in range(7):
 def some_func(x=x):
 return x * x
 funcs.append(some_func)

funcs_results = [func() for func in funcs]
print(funcs_results)
</code></pre>

What is the output of the following code?

```py
some_list = range(10)
print(id(some_list)==id(some_list[:])) 
```

What is the output of the following code?
<pre><code class="language-py">some_list = range(10)
print(id(some_list)==id(some_list[:])) 
</code></pre>

What is the output of the following code in **Python 3.x** versions?

```py
x = 9
print([x for x in range(2, 10, 2)])
print(x)
```

What is the output of the following code in Python 3.x versions?
<pre><code class="language-py">x = 9
print([x for x in range(2, 10, 2)])
print(x)
</code></pre>
