Challenge: Implementing Benchmarking

Task

Swipe to start coding

Let's practice benchmarking by comparing two approaches to squaring the elements of a NumPy array. The first approach, the slower one, uses a for loop to square each element individually, while the second approach leverages vectorization. Don't worry if this concept sounds unfamiliarβ€”we'll discuss it later in the course.

Your task for now is the following:

  1. Define two functions:
    • The first, named square_array_slow, should take a single parameter array;
    • The second, named square_array_fast, should also take the same parameter.
  2. Decorate both functions with the timeit_decorator and set number to 100.
