if you want your code to look real sharp, you can just write a horrific-looking function, paste it into the godbolt compiler explorer, find the 50 lines of C have been reduced down to 4 assembly instructions, and then rewrite them in C. everyone will think you're a genius. your boss will come by and slap you on the back. "you're the next john carmack!! HUA HUA HUA HUA!!" is what he will say. he will say "I AM GIVING YOU A RAISE!! HUA HUA HUA"
