My code after refactoring with a small question

[Suryansh]

Q. As you can see below my refactoring approach is a little bit different cuz I created too many functions. So will my refactoring approach is better than the refactoring approach we saw in the video in view of the latency of code execution.

This looks good. The code is neat and there’s nothing too small there.

Thanks, A lot for clearing my doubt.
