Decorators Are Not Magic. Theyβre Callbacks in Disguise
Youβve used @lru_cache to speed up a slow function, and it worked... until your app started eating RAM because the cache never forgot anything.
πHereβs whatβs really happening:
A decorator is just a function that wraps another function. When you write @lru_cache, Python replaces your fib with a new version that remembers every answer itβs ever given. Coolπ until n goes from 1 to 100,000.
β Fix it like a pro:
Now the cache stays small, predictable, and safe.
πBonus: Write your own @timerdecorator in 5 lines. no more time.time() spam.

β Fix it like a pro:
from functools import lru_cache
@lru_cache(maxsize=128) # Only keep last 128 results
def fib(n):
if n > 1000:
return manual_calc(n) # Skip cache for huge inputs
return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)Now the cache stays small, predictable, and safe.

Python Data Structures: Quick Visual Guide π
πΉ Lists: Ordered, mutable, created with [ ]
β Access/modify via index: myList[0], myList[-1]
β Methods: .append(), .sort(), .pop()
β Mixed types allowed
β Loop: for item in myList:
πΉ Tuples: Immutable, ordered β (1, 2, 3)
πΉ Sets: Unordered, unique elements
πΉ Dictionaries: Key-value pairs, fast lookups
πΉ Arrays: Mainly for numeric data (array/NumPy)
π Key Points:
β Indexing: 0 to len-1 (forward), -1 backward
β Assignment myList[i] = x modifies in place
β Lists are the most versatile & commonly used
This is the perfect cheat sheet for beginners and for quick revision!
