When you run code in Python, there’s a lot happening under the hood. This course sheds light on some of the interesting parts of Python you might be unaware of. 

As you progress through it, you’ll learn some tools and tricks that every Python programmer should know to avoid common mistakes. You can think of the course as a “Python hacks” handbook. 

Python basics are a prerequisite, but this is a beginner-level course. Each lesson is independent and after the first chapter, you can pick up from any lesson and you’ll be able to follow along comfortably.

Python FTW: Under the Hood

After quantum teleportation, let's present Python teleportation.

import numpy as np

def energy_send(x):
    # Initializing a numpy array
    np.array([float(x)])

def energy_receive():
    # Return an empty numpy array
    return np.empty((), dtype=np.float).tolist()

energy_send(123.456)
print(energy_receive())

<h1> Explanation </h1>

* Notice that the numpy array created in the `energy_send` function is not returned, so that memory space is free to reallocate.

* The `numpy.empty()` method returns the next free memory slot without reinitializing it. This memory spot just happens to be the same one that was just freed.This is usually the case, but not always.
