What are some advanced patterns in Python 3.11?

Python 3.11 introduces several advanced patterns, including structural pattern matching, enhanced error messages, and performance improvements. Would you like to explore a specific pattern?

Can you explain structural pattern matching?

Sure! Structural pattern matching allows you to match complex data structures against patterns, making your code cleaner and more readable. It uses the match statement, similar to switch-case in other languages.

How does it differ from traditional if-else statements?

Unlike if-else statements, structural pattern matching can destructure data and match against specific shapes, making it more powerful for handling various data types in a concise way.

Can you give me a code example?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

match point:
    case (0, 0):
        print('Origin')
    case (x, 0):
        print(f'On the x-axis at {x}')
    case (0, y):
        print(f'On the y-axis at {y}')
    case (x, y):
        print(f'Point at ({x}, {y})')
