Python Performance Comparison: CPython vs. PyPy

Introduction

This project demonstrates the performance differences between the standard Python interpreter (CPython) and PyPy, an alternative Python interpreter with Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation. The task chosen for this comparison is the calculation of the first N prime numbers.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python (CPython)
• PyPy

   git clone https://github.com/RimshaT1610/python-pypy-speed-comparison.git
   cd your-repo-name

2. Ensure you have both CPython and PyPy installed on your system
3. Running the Script Using CPython: '''bash python speed_test.py 1000000 Using PyPy python speed_test.py 1000000
