Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are given a list of integers. Write a generator function to yield the squared values of these integers and demonstrate its use with a loop.

💡 Hint: Think about how to create a generator function.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create a Python script that profiles a function simulating a long-running computation. Analyze which part takes the most time.

💡 Hint: Use `cProfile.run()` to see the bottleneck in your simulated function.
