In this article, let’s understand Optimization.<\/span><\/p>\n

To understand and appreciate the use of the \u2018volatile\u2019 type qualifier, we have to first understand what happens when the compiler does optimization on your code.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Program optimization<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Optimization is a series of actions taken by the compiler on your program’s code generation process to reduce a number of instructions(code space optimization), memory access time (time-space optimization), and Power consumption<\/span><\/p>\n

If memory access time and the number of instructions come down, then you may get better power consumption. <\/span><\/p>\n
