6.9 pass Statement

            A pass statement is ignored by the Python interpreter. It has the following simple syntax:

                        pass
            It is often used as a stub when we want to leave some functionality to be defined in the future. For example, pass
            statement can be used when no action is required on some conditions. For example,

              01 for letter in 'world':
              02     if letter == 'l':
              03         pass
              04     else:
              05         print(letter, end='')
              06

            Sample Output:
                  word
            It is important to remember that only the pass statement is ignored, other statements if any in the block are not
            ignored. For example,

              01 for letter in 'world':
              02     if letter == 'l':
              03         pass
              04         print(letter, end ='')
              05     else:
              06         print(letter, end='')
              07
            Sample Output:
                  world

                                 if letter == 'l':
