There are gonna be a couple of glaring omissions of what we're covering during this chapter.
0:05
We're not going to talk about functions and we're not gonna talk about classes.
0:09
Not really. Obviously we're gonna use some functions and we'll probably have some classes.
0:13
In fact, I'm certain that we will.
0:15
But we're not going to focus on some of the techniques that we can apply directly
0:18
to them to get huge, huge gains.
0:21
In fact, it's because they're so important that we're going to have a dedicated chapter
0:25
on optimizing functions and a dedicated chapter on optimizing classes.
0:30
So I want to just set the expectation that we're not gonna deal with things that
0:34
maybe address how functions use memory or how classes can be restructured to use memory better
0:40
in the Python language features.
0:42
We will talk about using classes,
0:43
but not the language features to make it better yet because those were really important
0:48
and they're coming up soon, but we have some foundational stuff to cover first.
