Code refactoring is crucial but often overlooked. It can improve the design and performance of existing code. The Python code below takes about 17 seconds to complete. Refactor the getData function to make it run in less than 5 seconds. Post your answer in the comments. import time def getData(): arr = [5] * 1000 * 1000 * 100 for i in range(1, len(arr)): if i % 5 == 0: arr[i] = 0 return arr

Code refactoring is crucial but often overlooked. It can improve the design and performance of existing code. The Python code below takes about 12 seconds to execute. Refactor the getData function to make it run in less than 1 second. Post your answer in the comments. import time def getData(): arr = [] for i in range(1000*1000*100): arr.append(5) return arr def timed(func): def run(): Tstart = time.time() func() Tend = time.time() Tdt = round(Tend - Tstart, 2) print(Tdt, 'seconds') return run

Discovering anomalies in complex multivariate and multidimensional data can be quite a challenge. Visualizing these anomalies can be even trickier, especially if you want to keep it simple without having to go over thousands of charts to filter out issues from false positives and noise. Using statistical methods we can…
