My first example was intended to be C, or at least close to it.  The
second example is Python.  I consider the C snippet to be low-level,
while the corresponding Python is high-level.  There are simply fewer
extraneous details for me to worry about at the Python level, and
that's why I prefer to work with Python over C when practical.
