What is 'Syntactic Sugar'?

It's a funny term, isn't it? In coding, 'Syntactic Sugar' refers to a feature that makes the code easier for humans to read or write, even though it doesn't add any new functionality.

Think of it like using a shortcut in a conversation—everyone knows what you mean, and it's much faster to say. It makes the language 'sweeter' for the programmer.

Python has a lot of this, which is why people find it so friendly. It's designed to make your life as a developer a little bit easier every day.
