## Use Set/Map for O(1) Lookups
|
|
|
|
Convert arrays to Set/Map for repeated membership checks.
|
|
|
|
**Incorrect (O(n) per check):**
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
const allowedIds = ['a', 'b', 'c', ...]
|
|
items.filter(item => allowedIds.includes(item.id))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Correct (O(1) per check):**
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
const allowedIds = new Set(['a', 'b', 'c', ...])
|
|
items.filter(item => allowedIds.has(item.id))
|
|
```
