AI translates the explanation and quiz text while preserving code and answer scoring.

The biggest wins are structural: fewer storage writes, packed structs, `calldata` instead of `memory`, short-circuiting checks, and `unchecked` blocks for counters that provably cannot overflow.

solidity
for (uint256 i; i < n;) {
    // ...
    unchecked { ++i; }
}

Micro-tricks matter far less than avoiding an extra SSTORE. Measure with `forge snapshot` rather than guessing.

How to study this topic

  1. 1. Read the explanation once end to end, skipping the code.
  2. 2. Re-read the code snippets and say out loud what each line does.
  3. 3. Answer the quiz without scrolling back — that is the real check.
  4. 4. Read every explanation, even for the answers you got right.

Scoring

  • · Up to 30 XP from quiz accuracy.
  • · +15 XP for a perfect first attempt.
  • · +5 XP while a 3-day streak is running.
  • · 75% or higher marks the topic complete.

Check your understanding

  1. 1. Which change usually saves the most gas?

  2. 2. When is `unchecked` safe?

  3. 3. How should optimisation be validated?
