Syntactic sugar is a programming shortcut that makes code easier to write and read. It’s like a linguistic trick that lets you do something complex in a simpler way.

In Python __init__() context, here are simple examples:

#
# Verbose#
class Person:
    def __init__(self, name: str, age: int):
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

#
# Sugar (dataclass)
#
from dataclasses import dataclass@dataclass
class Person:
    name: str
    age: int
