Vectorization vs Looping
Developers should learn vectorization to optimize code for speed and efficiency, particularly when dealing with large datasets or complex mathematical operations, such as in machine learning models, image processing, or simulations meets developers should learn looping to write concise and scalable code for tasks like data processing, batch operations, and iterative algorithms, as it reduces manual repetition and errors. Here's our take.
Vectorization
