Decorators caching - with cache

• cache

• lru_cache

• By adding the lru_cache decorator we can tell Python to cache the result and save on computation time.

• functools

import functools

@functools.lru_cache()
def compute(x, y):
    print(f"Called with {x} and {y}")
    # some long computation here
    return x+y

print(compute(2, 3))
print(compute(3, 4))
print(compute(2, 3))
