⚡️ Speed up function funcA by 4,220%

Certainly! Here's an optimized version of your program. The performance bottlenecks, evident from the line profiler, are.

1. **Inefficient summation in the `for` loop:**  
   `for i in range(number * 100): k += i` is an O(n) loop; it can be replaced by the formula for the sum of the first n natural numbers: sum = n * (n-1) // 2.

2. **The generator for join:**  
   While `" ".join(str(i) for i in range(number))` is already efficient, converting it to a **list comprehension** can be slightly faster for builtin join because join first calculates the lengths ('optimizations under the hood').

3. **sum(range(number))**  
   This can also be replaced with the arithmetic sum formula.

Here is the rewritten, highly-optimized version.



**Summary of changes:**
- Both `k` and `j` calculations are replaced with an O(1) formula, entirely eliminating the costliest parts of the profile.
- The return statement uses a list comprehension for `join` (measurably slightly faster for non-trivial counts).

Your function's return value remains identical (the operation on `k` and `j` serves only to reproduce the original side effects).

**You should see >100x speedup on all reasonable inputs.**
