Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is loop unrolling?
- Step 1: Understand that a loop is a way to repeat a set of instructions multiple times in programming.
- Step 2: Realize that each time a loop runs, there is some overhead, like checking if the loop should continue.
- Step 3: Loop unrolling means taking a loop that repeats many times and rewriting it to do more work in each run.
- Step 4: For example, instead of adding 1 to a number 10 times in a loop, you could add 1 to the number 5 times in one go, and then do that twice.
- Step 5: This reduces the number of times the loop control (like checking if it should continue) happens, making the program run faster.
