The findAuctionForSpiceToken
function in the SpiceAuctionFactory contract can be optimized for gas efficiency by using an inline return statement, eliminating unnecessary storage reads and variable assignments.

The current implementation of findAuctionForSpiceToken
reads from storage twice and uses an unnecessary local variable:
While this is a low-severity issue as it doesn't affect the functionality or security of the contract, it does present an opportunity for gas optimization. The proposed change would slightly reduce the gas cost for calling this function, which could lead to cumulative savings over multiple transactions, especially if this function is frequently called.
Manual review
Implement the optimized version of the function using the inline return statement:
This change will:
Reduce gas costs by eliminating an unnecessary storage read and local variable assignment.
Simplify the function, making it more concise and easier to read.
Potentially provide cumulative gas savings for users interacting with the contract, especially if this function is called frequently.
