Two Thumb Rules for Efficient Code
This article presents two practical tips for improving code efficiency: moving `if` conditions upwards and `for` loops downwards. Moving `if` conditions to the caller function reduces branching, simplifies control flow, and improves readability. Moving `for` loops to where batch data is processed leverages batch processing advantages, improves performance, and potentially unlocks vectorization. These two tips complement each other, effectively enhancing code efficiency, especially when handling large amounts of data.
