5 Quick Tips

For Optimizing
Your
Python Code

1. Use NumPy arrays


for mathematical
operations
instead of looping through lists

💡 np.sum(arr) is faster than summing


elements in a loop.
2. Save memory with
Generators
which yield items one at a time
instead of storing them all at
once

💡 (x**2 for x in range(10)) is more memory-


efficient than storing all elements in a list
3. Use List
Comprehensions to
create lists
instead of loops

💡 [x**2 for x in range(10)] is faster and cleaner


than using a loop to build a list
4. Profile your code
with cProfile
to find and fix performance
bottlenecks

💡 Use cProfile to spot slow parts of your


code and optimize them for better
performance.
5. Minimize global
variables
to keep your code modular and
efficient

💡 Limiting global variables reduces


memory usage and makes your code
easier to debug and maintain
