Using Cython to speed up Python

What is one of the main advantages of using Cython over Python?

• Cython is easier to read than Python.

• Cython can be compiled to high-performance C code.

• Cython allows for dynamic typing.

• Cython is a web development framework.

How does Cython improve the performance of numerically intensive Python code?

• By using a different syntax for loops.

• By allowing incremental optimization with type annotations.

• By automatically parallelizing the code.

• By converting Python code to Java.

What is a key feature of Cython that helps in accessing raw binary data?

• The use of global variables.

• The lambda function.

• The use of decorators.

• The buffer protocol.

What is the primary difference between the Python and Cython versions of a function?

• Cython uses more comments.

• Cython requires type declaration syntax.

• Cython functions are longer.

• Cython functions use different variable names.

What tool does Cython provide to help visualize code optimization?

• A debugger.

• An HTML report file.

• A syntax highlighter.

• A code formatter.

What happens if you don't add type information in Cython?

• Cython assumes variables are generic Python objects, leading to slower code.

• The code will automatically optimize itself.

• The code will run faster.

• The code will not compile.

What is required to compile Cython code on Windows?

• A Linux subsystem.

• The Visual Studio C compiler.

• A Python interpreter.

• A Java Development Kit.
