What are some examples of using Numba in Python?

Numba is a just-in-time compiler for Python that can speed up your code. For example, you can use it to accelerate numerical functions.

Can you show me a simple example of using Numba?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from numba import jit

@jit
def sum_array(arr):
    total = 0
    for i in arr:
        total += i
    return total

How does Numba improve performance?

Numba improves performance by compiling Python functions to machine code at runtime, which reduces the overhead of Python's dynamic typing.

Are there any limitations to using Numba?

Yes, Numba works best with numerical functions and may not support all Python features, such as certain data types or libraries.
