Loop fusion

Okay kiddo, let me explain what loop fusion is.

Have you ever played with Legos? You know how you can take different pieces and put them together to make something new? Loop fusion is kind of like that, but with computer code.

In computer programming, we use something called loops to repeat certain actions over and over. Sometimes we have more than one loop doing different things, but if we can combine them into one big loop, it can make our code faster and more efficient.

So, loop fusion is like taking two sets of Legos and putting them together to make one bigger set that’s easier to work with. It’s like saying, “Instead of using two separate loops to do these two things, let’s combine them into one big loop that does both at the same time.”

This can be really helpful because it saves the computer from having to spend time and energy on unnecessary steps. It’s kind of like if you were trying to build a Lego castle, but you had to keep walking back and forth between two different boxes of Legos to get the pieces you needed. By combining those two boxes into one big box, you could work more quickly and efficiently.

So, that’s the basic idea behind loop fusion: combining loops to make our code faster and more efficient, kind of like combining Legos to make building easier.
