📄 36% (0.36x) speedup for
mysorterincodeflash/bubble_sort.py⏱️ Runtime :
3.96 microseconds→2.92 microseconds(best of26628runs)📝 Explanation and details
The optimization replaces the manual bubble sort implementation with Python's built-in
arr.sort()method, resulting in a 35% speedup.Key Changes:
forloops that implemented bubble sort (O(n²) complexity)arr.sort()which uses Timsort algorithm (O(n log n) complexity)Why This Is Faster:
sort()is implemented in optimized C code, avoiding Python interpreter overhead for the sorting logicarr.sort()Performance Impact:
This optimization is particularly effective for larger arrays where the O(n²) vs O(n log n) difference becomes more pronounced, though even small arrays benefit from the native C implementation speed.
