🐍 Python Tip of the Day: Decorators — Enhance Function Behavior ✨

🧠 What is a Decorator in Python?
A decorator lets you wrap extra logic before or after a function runs, without modifying its original code.

🔥 A Simple Example

Imagine you have a basic greeting function:

def say_hello():
    print("Hello!")

You want to log a message before and after it runs, but you don’t want to touch say_hello() itself. Here’s where a decorator comes in:

def my_decorator(func):
    def wrapper():
        print("Calling the function...")
        func()
        print("Function has been called.")
    return wrapper

Now “decorate” your function:

@my_decorator
def say_hello():
    print("Hello!")

When you call it:

say_hello()

Output:

Calling the function...
Hello!
Function has been called.

💡 Quick Tip:
The @my_decorator syntax is just syntactic sugar for:
s

ay_hello = my_decorator(say_hello)

🚀 Why Use Decorators?
- 🔄 Reuse common “before/after” logic
- 🔒 Keep your original functions clean
- 🔧 Easily add logging, authentication, timing, and more
