| Type Hints (Annotations) | Annotates function arguments and return values with type information; not enforced at runtime but used by tools like mypy. |
| Walrus Operator (:=) | An assignment expression operator added in Python 3.8; returns a value as an expression while simultaneously assigning to a variable. |
| while / do-while Loops | Loop constructs that repeat a block while a condition is true; while evaluates the condition first, do-while evaluates it after. |
| with Statement (Context Manager) | Safely manages resources using a context manager; ensures post-processing even if an exception occurs. |
