Jump threading is a technique used primarily in compiler optimization and, more broadly, in programming languages to improve execution efficiency and reduce the number of conditional branches in code. The concept focuses on reordering or restructuring code that involves conditional statements and jump instructions (like \`goto\`, break, or continue) to create a more linear flow of execution, which can lead to better performance and easier analysis of the program's control flow.
