Python Tutorial: How to Print Object Size in Bytes

In this Python tutorial, you'll learn how to print the size of any object in bytes. This can be useful when you need to optimize your code and reduce memory usage. We'll start by introducing the sys module, which provides a way to access some variables used or maintained by the interpreter and to interact with the Python runtime environment. Then, we'll use the getsizeof() function from the sys module to obtain the size of different types of objects, such as integers, floats, strings, lists, tuples, and dictionaries. We'll also show you some examples of how to measure the size of more complex objects, like functions and classes. By the end of this video, you'll have a better understanding of how to measure the size of objects in Python and how to use this knowledge to optimize your code.
