[Tutor] Use of List Comprehension?

You use it to build lists.

It usually performs faster than writing the equivalent Python code
because the comprehensions are implemented in C.

Some people seem to find comprehensions quite straightforward,
personally I still prefer the older map/filter/reduce functions
for readability, but that's because I'm used to their names in math.
I'm slowly getting used to reading comprehensions but I still don't
like the typical

[x for x ....]

syntax, I'd have liked to see some kind of separator,
like say a colon:

[x: for x...]

My opinion FWIW,
