Step 3 Compile the Cython Code

In the terminal (in the same folder), run:

This will create a compiled .pyd file.
Step 4 Create a math.py file to use the Compiled Module in Python.

Now, run the math.py file by pressing the F5 key. The result is shown as follows:

COMPARING PURE PYTHON VS. CYTHON

Feature Pure Python Cython

Execution Speed Slower (interpreted) Faster (compiled to C)
Syntax Simple and clean Similar to Python with optional type hints

Performance Optimisation Limited High (especially with typed variables)
Setup Requirement None Requires Cichon and C compiler
C/C++ Integration Difficult Easy and native

NumPy Performance Slower in loops Optimised with typed memoryviews
Use Case General scripting, web apps Scientific computing, heavy computation

Learning Curve Very low Moderate (especially for C-style types)
Compilation Step Not required Required (e.g., via setup.py)

Interoperability Pure Python ecosystem Compatible with Python and C libraries
