We all want to compute a running total as fast as possible. But before entering the loop, we should first do some preparation work. The bookkeeping is what slows down the calculation of a running total. So let’s show how to make it faster by using the first trick: To compute a running total, start with an empty set and then add one item at a time! The first trick to increase the number of runs per minute is to start with an empty set and then add one item at a time. For example, if we want to compute how many apples are in our basket, we can do it by following this process: I have {0} apple I now also have {0} bananas The total number of fruit in my basket is {0}. That’s all for today! In order to calculate the running sum without anything on top of each other, use line numbers so that you know where each value goes when adding them together. This way nothing will get mixed up and your results will be accurate. *. We all want fast computations – but before entering a loop
