25. List Comprehension

The chapter covers list comprehensions in Python, discussing how to apply functions across lists, filter elements based on conditions, and generate new sets using comprehensions. It emphasizes the difference between functions like map and filter and the importance of constructing two-dimensional data structures correctly to avoid unintended data manipulation. The chapter further illustrates practical uses of these concepts in solving problems such as identifying Pythagorean triples.
