Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given an array of integers, write a loop that sums all elements. Then apply loop unrolling to this code, explaining the changes.

💡 Hint: Consider how many operations you can perform in a single loop pass.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design an algorithm for a small embedded system that sorts a small list and justify your choice of sorting algorithm based on complexity and performance for this specific use case.

💡 Hint: Think about the size of the data and the time complexity comparison.
