Optimizing NumPy code involves several best practices to enhance efficiency, reduce memory consumption, and improve performance. Here are some key strategies:

1. Vectorized Operations:

Use Vectorized Operations: Leverage NumPy’s vectorized operations instead of loops whenever possible. Vectorized operations apply operations element-wise, enhancing performance significantly.

2. Memory Efficiency:

• Avoid Unnecessary Copies: Minimize unnecessary copies of arrays to conserve memory. Use in-place operations (+=, *=) or numpy.copy() judiciously.

• Use Views Instead of Copies: Utilize array views (array.view()) rather than creating new copies when feasible, to save memory and processing time.

3. Broadcasting and Reshaping:

• Leverage Broadcasting: Exploit broadcasting capabilities in NumPy to perform operations on arrays with different shapes efficiently.

• Reshape Instead of Copying: Prefer reshaping arrays (array.reshape()) over creating new arrays whenever possible.
