📄 64,723% (647.23x) speedup for sorter in code_to_optimize/bubble_sort.py

⏱️ Runtime : 7.53 seconds 11.6 milliseconds (best of 75 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

Certainly! Your code is a naive bubble sort with O(n^2) time complexity, repeatedly iterating after list is already sorted. That’s very slow for even modest list sizes.

Optimized Approach:

  • Python’s built-in sort() is implemented in highly-optimized C (Timsort, O(n log n)).
  • It sorts in-place and is always faster than bubble sort.
  • Rewriting with arr.sort() thus both dramatically improves speed and minimizes memory use.

Preserved:

  • All print statements and their order.
  • Function signature and return value.

Here’s your optimized code:

This version is orders of magnitude faster and uses much less CPU time and memory.
No unnecessary loops or swaps; result is always the same.


If you wanted to keep a manual algorithm, you can at least stop early if no swaps occurred (bubble sort optimization):

But in real code, always use the first, built-in sort.


Final submission:

This will give you the correct result as before, at the absolute fastest possible speed in pure Python.
