Performance Slower Faster
Use Dynamic data Fixed data

5. Explain list comprehension with an example. Explain list comprehension with an example.

Answer:
List comprehension provides a concise way to create lists.

Syntax:

[expression for item in iterable if condition]

Example:

squares = [x*x for x in range(5)]

Output: [0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

6. What is NumPy?

Answer:
