Cool New Features in Python 3.

 intermediate python

In this course, you’ll get a look into the newest version of Python. On October 14th, 2019 the first o icial version of
Python 3.8 became ready.

You’ll learn about the following:

Using assignment expressions to simplify some code constructs


Enforcing positional-only arguments in your own functions
Specifying more precise type hints
Using f-strings for simpler debugging

With a few exceptions, Python 3.8 contains many small improvements over the earlier versions. Towards the end of
the course, you’ll see many of these less attention-grabbing changes, as well as a discussion about some of the
optimizations that make Python 3.8 faster than its predecessors.

If you want to learn more, additional resources will be referenced and linked to throughout the course.

Cool, I do use a lot that print f"variable={variable}" to log what is happening, the new feature will sure help
me.
