As you have seen in the previous chapter, **logging** is a practical and common use case for decorators in Python. By wrapping a function with a logging decorator, you can automatically record when the function is called, along with its arguments. This approach keeps your code tidy and avoids repetitive logging statements inside every function. **Logging decorators** are especially useful for debugging, monitoring, or auditing function usage in real-world applications.
