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

Get out your detective gear, we’re going to solve a mystery.

> ⚠️ The following code is meant for **Python 2.x** versions.

def square(x):
    """
    A simple function to calculate the square of a number by addition.
    """
    sum_so_far = 0
    for counter in range(x):
        sum_so_far = sum_so_far + x
  return sum_so_far

print(square(10))

<h1> Explanation </h1>

* **Don't mix tabs and spaces!** The character just preceding return is a "tab",  and the code is indented by multiple of "4 spaces" elsewhere in the example.
* This is how [Python handles tabs](https://docs.python.org/2.0/ref/indentation.html):
  
  > First, tabs are replaced (from left to right) by one to eight spaces such that the total number of characters up to and including the replacement is a multiple of eight <...>
