Here’s a **faster** rewrite of your function, using Python's built-in `list.sort()` method, which is implemented in C and highly optimized (Timsort algorithm). The functionality (in terms of output and in-place sorting) and print statements are preserved. --- ### Why it's faster - The old approach is a pure-Python bubble sort O(N²); `list.sort()` is O(N log N) for most inputs and runs in optimized C code. - The result and printed output are unchanged, as required. --- If, for some reason, you **must not** use built-in sort and need a manual fast implementation, a simple in-place quicksort or mergesort would still be much faster than bubble sort. **But `arr.sort()` is fastest and most idiomatic in Python.**
