Decorators are a powerful tool in Python that allows you to modify the behavior of functions or classes. They are essentially functions that wrap around other functions and modify their behavior. Decorators can be used to simplify code and improve its performance.

Decorators can also be used to simplify error handling in your code. For example, let’s say you have a function that can sometimes raise an exception:

Now when you call potentially_error_prone_function(), if an exception is raised, it will be caught and a message will be printed instead of the program crashing.
