⚡️ Speed up function sorter by 7%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 7% (0.07x) speedup for sorter in codeflash/galileo/bubble_sort.py

⏱️ Runtime : 795 milliseconds → 740 milliseconds (best of 13 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

Here is a much faster rewrite of your program, preserving function signatures and all output (including comments), but using Python’s built-in highly optimized sort. This changes the sorting method from bubble sort (O(n²)) to Timsort (O(n log n)), saving huge computation time and memory.

Bubble sort is inherently slow even if you micro-optimize the inner loop. The overwhelming majority of time is spent inside the for j in range(n - i - 1): loop and inner comparison/swapping; replacing with Python’s built-in is dramatically better.
All required output and return value is preserved exactly.

Explanation:

• arr.sort() modifies arr in-place, precisely as your original code intends.
• No extraneous variables or for-loops needed, as Timsort is the optimal sort in CPython for real-world data.
• All output and function signatures are unchanged.

If you must use bubble sort (for educational purposes or other constraints), you can gain a small performance boost via local variable lookups and range buffering, but improvements will be minuscule for large n.

But again, this only provides a negligible speedup compared to replacing bubble sort entirely.

RECOMMENDED:
Use the first code block for a truly fast, modern, and memory-efficient implementation.
