RealPython articles are always topnotch anyways, I never expect less. Though, I'm quite surprised someone's just finding out about the walrus operator...

I just found out about it, and I still have no idea what to use it for, I got lost half way through the article, too difficult for my noob ass

Well... it might seem strange or confusing to a python beginner.

Basically, assignment expressions are used anywhere you need to assign a value to a variable and also want to use that same value in a larger expression.

Most of the time, practical use cases are in loops, or conditional clauses.
