Is logistic regression regression or classification?

There are arguments like, "logistic regression is regression," or "No, it's not regression, it's classification."

It is similar to the discussion of "Are Python and Ruby variables passed by value or by reference to a function?

An example of choosing the wrong two options. In this case, the reference is passed by value.

Logistic regression solves classification problems by finding probability values in regression.

Re-posted from a previous article in [Regression and Classification

Misleading point: "logistic regression" is overwhelmingly used for classification problems, not regression problems

Logistic regression is a method of solving the classification problem of "which group one belongs to" by finding the real value of "probability of belonging to a group" through regression. In other words, it is equivalent to converting a classification problem into a regression problem and then solving it.
