Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Write a Python function that demonstrates the difference in memory usage between a list and a generator for generating Fibonacci numbers up to N.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use `yield` for the generator.

Question 2

Create a performance comparison script that uses timeit to evaluate the speed of a built-in function versus a manual loop for computing the sum of a list.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Set up two functions and run them through `timeit`.
