You need to generate 100 large plots in a script without running out of memory. Which approach is best to manage memory efficiently?
ACreate each figure, plot data, save it, then call <code>plt.close()</code> before next
BCreate all 100 figures first, then plot and save them all together
CPlot all data on one figure without closing it
DUse <code>plt.show()</code> after all figures are created without closing
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand memory use when creating many figures

    Creating many large figures without closing them uses too much memory and slows the system.
  2. Step 2: Best practice for memory management

    Creating, saving, then closing each figure before the next frees memory and avoids overload.
  3. Final Answer:

    Create each figure, plot data, save it, then call plt.close() before next -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Close each figure after saving to save memory [OK]
Quick Trick: Save and close each figure before next to avoid memory issues [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Creating all figures before saving causes memory overload
  • Not closing figures after plotting
  • Plotting all data on one figure when separate plots needed
