The task is ill-defined.

You make it faster

[measurablefunc]

Fewer instructions doesn't mean it's faster. It can be faster but it's not guaranteed in general. Obvious counterexample is single threaded vs multi-threaded code. Single threaded code will have fewer instructions but won't necessarily be faster.

[saagarjha]

It does in this case; you can read the assignment to see that it is all single-threaded

[measurablefunc]

I read it, you're mistaken.

[saagarjha]

I did the assignment my guy

[measurablefunc]

That's great but I didn't ask & that's still not addressing my point.
