Loop unrolling

Loop unrolling is an optimization technique used in programming to make loops run faster. Instead of repeating the same operation multiple times in a loop, the code is rewritten to perform several operations in a single iteration. For example, if a loop adds two numbers ten times, unrolling it might mean writing the addition five times in a row within the loop body. This reduces the number of times the computer has to check the loop's conditions and can improve performance, especially in cases where speed is critical.
