    • Mutable data types in Python include lists and dictionaries.

    • Decorators are functions that take another function and extend its behavior without explicitly modifying it.

    • They are commonly used in Python to add functionality to existing functions or classes.

    • Example: Adding logging to a function using a decorator.
