⚡️ Speed up function sorter by 315,567%
To optimize the sorting program, I'll replace the inefficient bubble sort with Python's built-in sort, which is highly optimized. Here's how the updated code looks. This change should drastically reduce the execution time, especially for larger arrays, because Python's built-in `sort()` method uses Timsort, which has a time complexity of O(n log n) in the worst case.
