How to write shorter code in Python using the 'walrus operator' (':=' reminds some of the eyes and tusks of a walrus)

The article explores the assignment expressions introduced in Python 3.8, which allow the combination of assignment and expressions in a single step. The author points out that this tool can significantly simplify code by eliminating repetitive operations. An example is nested if statements, where the code is made less complex and clearer. In particular, the author demonstrates how assignment expressions can be used in loops and conditional expressions, which becomes especially handy when working with large data sets. This enables programmers to save time and reduce the chance of errors with the same code. Ultimately, the author encourages adopting assignment expressions as a means to improve code readability and efficiency in Python projects.
