Zero Copy in Python

PythonStrings & BytesMemoryviewadvanced

What this snippet does

Memoryviews can mutate array or bytearray buffers directly, offering C-like pointer performance.

Expected output

array('i', [99, 2, 3, 4])

Why practise typing this

Typing strings & bytes code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Python uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
