Solution: Asynchronous Programming

import asyncio
import time
# Function to process individual items
async def process_item(item):
    await asyncio.sleep(1)   # Simulating a process that takes a lot of execution time 
    return f"Processed: {item}"
# Function to process entire data set
async def process_data(data):
    # Using asyncio.gather to process the data concurrently
    tasks = [process_item(item) for item in data]
    return await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
async def main():
    # Simulating a large amount of data
    data = [i for i in range(10)]
    # Processing data and noting start and end times
    start_time = time.time()
    processed_data = await process_data(data)
    end_time = time.time()
    for item in processed_data:
        print(item)
    # Printing execution time
    print(f"Execution time: {end_time - start_time:.4f} seconds")
if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
