 First, to see what part of our source code was optimised between levels 1 and 2 we can run the following commands to see if our vectorisable loop was indeed vectorised. 
 
-
 ```bash
 g++ -O1 vectorizable_loop.cpp -o level_1 -fopt-info-vec
 ```
 
-Running the `-O1` flag led showed no terminal output indicating no vectorisation was performed.
+Running the `-O1` flag led showed no terminal output indicating no vectorisation was performed. Next, run the command below with the `-O2` flag.
 
 ```bash
 g++ -O2 vectorizable_loop.cpp -o level_2 -fopt-info-vec
 ```
 
- Conversely, the `-O2` flag enables our loop to be vectorised as can be seen from the output below.
+This time the `-O2` flag enables our loop to be vectorised as can be seen from the output below.
