There are gonna be a couple of glaring omissions of what we're covering during this chapter.
0:06
We're not going to talk about functions and we're not gonna talk about classes.
0:10
Not really. Obviously we're gonna use some functions and we'll probably have some classes. In fact, I'm certain that we will.
0:16
But we're not going to focus on some of the techniques that we can apply directly to them to get huge, huge gains.
0:22
In fact, it's because they're so important that we're going to have a dedicated chapter
0:26
on optimizing functions and a dedicated chapter on optimizing classes. So I want to just set the expectation that we're not gonna deal with things that
0:35
maybe address how functions use memory or how classes can be restructured to use memory better in the Python language features.
0:43
We will talk about using classes, but not the language features to make it better yet because those were really important
0:49
and they're coming up soon, but we have some foundational stuff to cover first.
