Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Create a simple Python program that demonstrates memory leaks caused by circular references.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how two objects can point to each other and how to use gc.collect() to free them.

Question 2

Write a Python script to compare the time taken to execute a function using a list versus using a generator for a large range of numbers.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use a simple function that computes squares and return the total via both methods.
