METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONVERTING PROGRAMS

Methods and apparatuses of converting a program, which may enhance an execution speed of a computer program, are provided. The method may include receiving a program, detecting at least one loop statement including at least one branch statement within the program, determining whether the loop statement may be split into at one or more sub-loop statements which perform the same function as a function of the loop statement and from which the branch statement has been removed, splitting the loop statement into the sub-loop statements and removing the branch statement included in the loop statement if it is determined that the loop statement may be split as a result of the determination, and outputting a result of removing the branch statement.
