Here's an alternative version using list comprehension. Although this does not improve the time complexity, it gives a Pythonic touch: ```python def sorter(arr): return sorted(arr) ``` Again, this command returns a new sorted list and does not modify the original list. If you want to sort the list in-place, you only have the original function: Please note that sorting time complexity cannot be improved further than O(n log n) using comparison-based sorting algorithms. To really optimize this function, you would need a guarantee about the content of your data, for example, if your array only contained integers in a particular range, then you could use counting sort or radix sort, which can have a time complexity of O(n). --- code_to_optimize/bubble_sort.py | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) create mode 100644 code_to_optimize/bubble_sort.py diff --git a/code_to_optimize/bubble_sort.py b/code_to_optimize/bubble_sort.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000..3a904b0 --- /dev/null +++ b/code_to_optimize/bubble_sort.py @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +def sorter(arr): + arr.sort() + return arr + +
