In this challenge, you will apply your knowledge of **Pythonic best practices** to identify and eliminate **anti-patterns** in a provided script. **Anti-patterns** are common coding habits that can harm readability, maintainability, or performance. Your goal is to refactor the code so that it adheres to the principles of **clean, idiomatic Python** you have learned so far.
