Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are tasked with optimizing a program that contains both conditional and unconditional jumps. Describe how you would assess and potentially reduce the number of jumps to streamline the execution flow.
💡 Hint: Consider the significance of each jump in terms of logic and flow.
