Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does the partial function do in functools?

  • Creates a new function with some parameters fixed
  • Caches function outputs
  • Overloads functions based on type

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how it can help reduce the number of parameters you need to pass.

Question 2

True or False: lru_cache is only applicable to non-recursive functions.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall the example of the Fibonacci function.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Construct a decorated Fibonacci function using lru_cache and analyze its performance compared to a non-cached version.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Measure execution time for n = 35 and n = 40.

Question 2

Create a set of overloaded functions using singledispatch that handles three different data types in calculations. Provide examples of how each function works.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use @singledispatch for the main function and register for each type.
