Code introduction


This code defines a function named `abacuse` that uses Python built-in libraries to generate a random string, calculate the distance between two points, get the available memory, log events, and pause for a specified time.


Technology Stack : The code uses Python built-in libraries, including random, string, datetime, math, os, sys, and time.

Code Type : Function

Code Difficulty : Intermediate
