In order to optimize a program, I want a simple function to show me the exact (or aprox.) speed and memory needed by a function:
measuring("start")
fu()
measuring("stop")

You require some scales to measure speed/ space. May you mention those measures? You might be thinking about complexity, thus may you provide function and inputs? – Aaditya Bhardwaj Mar 10 '21 at 21:27

Check this out [Total memory used by Python process?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/938733/total-memory-used-by-python-process) for memory usage. – Have a nice day Mar 10 '21 at 21:48

You can use datetime to calculate speed:
from datetime import datetime
startTime = datetime.now()
print(datetime.now() - startTime)
Output: 0:00:00.000007
Just wrap that around your function to time it :).

How does this address the entire question? There's nothing here about memory usage. – Random Davis Mar 10 '21 at 21:38

It doesn't, I was only answering the speed part. Why don't you answer that instead of asking me why I didn't? – Have a nice day Mar 10 '21 at 21:45
