+
+## Cache Repeated Function Calls
+
+Use a module-level Map to cache function results when the same function is called repeatedly with the same inputs during render.
+
+**Incorrect (redundant computation):**
+
+```typescript
+function ProjectList({ projects }: { projects: Project[] }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {projects.map(project => {
+        // slugify() called 100+ times for same project names
+        const slug = slugify(project.name)
+        
+        return <ProjectCard key={project.id} slug={slug} />
+      })}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (cached results):**
+
+```typescript
+// Module-level cache
+const slugifyCache = new Map<string, string>()
+
+function cachedSlugify(text: string): string {
+  if (slugifyCache.has(text)) {
+    return slugifyCache.get(text)!
+  }
+  const result = slugify(text)
+  slugifyCache.set(text, result)
+  return result
+}
+
+function ProjectList({ projects }: { projects: Project[] }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {projects.map(project => {
+        // Computed only once per unique project name
+        const slug = cachedSlugify(project.name)
+        
+        return <ProjectCard key={project.id} slug={slug} />
+      })}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Simpler pattern for single-value functions:**
+
+```typescript
+let isLoggedInCache: boolean | null = null
+
+function isLoggedIn(): boolean {
+  if (isLoggedInCache !== null) {
+    return isLoggedInCache
+  }
+  
+  isLoggedInCache = document.cookie.includes('auth=')
+  return isLoggedInCache
+}
+
+// Clear cache when auth changes
+function onAuthChange() {
+  isLoggedInCache = null
+}
+```
+
+Use a Map (not a hook) so it works everywhere: utilities, event handlers, not just React components.

+
+## Early Length Check for Array Comparisons
+
+When comparing arrays with expensive operations (sorting, deep equality, serialization), check lengths first. If lengths differ, the arrays cannot be equal.
+
+In real-world applications, this optimization is especially valuable when the comparison runs in hot paths (event handlers, render loops).
+
+**Incorrect (always runs expensive comparison):**
+
+```typescript
+function hasChanges(current: string[], original: string[]) {
+  // Always sorts and joins, even when lengths differ
+  return current.sort().join() !== original.sort().join()
+}
+```
+
+Two O(n log n) sorts run even when `current.length` is 5 and `original.length` is 100. There is also overhead of joining the arrays and comparing the strings.
+
+**Correct (O(1) length check first):**
+
+```typescript
+function hasChanges(current: string[], original: string[]) {
+  // Early return if lengths differ
+  if (current.length !== original.length) {
+    return true
+  }
+  // Only sort when lengths match
+  const currentSorted = current.toSorted()
+  const originalSorted = original.toSorted()
+  for (let i = 0; i < currentSorted.length; i++) {
+    if (currentSorted[i] !== originalSorted[i]) {
+      return true
+    }
+  }
+  return false
+}
+```
+
+This new approach is more efficient because:
+- It avoids the overhead of sorting and joining the arrays when lengths differ
+- It avoids consuming memory for the joined strings (especially important for large arrays)
+- It avoids mutating the original arrays
+- It returns early when a difference is found

+## Use Loop for Min/Max Instead of Sort
+
+Finding the smallest or largest element only requires a single pass through the array. Sorting is wasteful and slower.
+
+**Incorrect (O(n log n) - sort to find latest):**
+
+```typescript
+interface Project {
+  id: string
+  name: string
+  updatedAt: number
+}
+
+function getLatestProject(projects: Project[]) {
+  const sorted = [...projects].sort((a, b) => b.updatedAt - a.updatedAt)
+  return sorted[0]
+}
+```
+
+Sorts the entire array just to find the maximum value.
+

+
+```typescript
+function getOldestAndNewest(projects: Project[]) {
+  const sorted = [...projects].sort((a, b) => a.updatedAt - b.updatedAt)
+  return { oldest: sorted[0], newest: sorted[sorted.length - 1] }
+}
+```
+
+Still sorts unnecessarily when only min/max are needed.
+
+**Correct (O(n) - single loop):**
+
+```typescript
+function getLatestProject(projects: Project[]) {
+  if (projects.length === 0) return null
+  
+  let latest = projects[0]
+  
+  for (let i = 1; i < projects.length; i++) {
+    if (projects[i].updatedAt > latest.updatedAt) {
+      latest = projects[i]
+    }
+  }
+  
+  return latest
+}
+
+function getOldestAndNewest(projects: Project[]) {
+  if (projects.length === 0) return { oldest: null, newest: null }
+  
+  let oldest = projects[0]
+  let newest = projects[0]
+  
+  for (let i = 1; i < projects.length; i++) {
+    if (projects[i].updatedAt < oldest.updatedAt) oldest = projects[i]
+    if (projects[i].updatedAt > newest.updatedAt) newest = projects[i]
+  }
+  
+  return { oldest, newest }
+}
+```
+
+Single pass through the array, no copying, no sorting.
+
+**Alternative (Math.min/Math.max for small arrays):**
+
+```typescript
+const numbers = [5, 2, 8, 1, 9]
+const min = Math.min(...numbers)
+const max = Math.max(...numbers)
+```
+
+This works for small arrays, but can be slower or just throw an error for very large arrays due to spread operator limitations. Maximal array length is approximately 124000 in Chrome 143 and 638000 in Safari 18; exact numbers may vary - see [the fiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/qw1jabsx/4/). Use the loop approach for reliability.

+
+## Use toSorted() Instead of sort() for Immutability
+
+`.sort()` mutates the array in place, which can cause bugs with React state and props. Use `.toSorted()` to create a new sorted array without mutation.
+
+**Incorrect (mutates original array):**
+
+```typescript
+function UserList({ users }: { users: User[] }) {
+  // Mutates the users prop array!
+  const sorted = useMemo(
+    () => users.sort((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name)),

+  )

+
+**Correct (creates new array):**

+  const sorted = useMemo(
+    () => users.toSorted((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name)),
+    [users]
+  )
+  return <div>{sorted.map(renderUser)}</div>
+}
+```
+
+**Why this matters in React:**
+
+1. Props/state mutations break React's immutability model - React expects props and state to be treated as read-only
+2. Causes stale closure bugs - Mutating arrays inside closures (callbacks, effects) can lead to unexpected behavior
+
+**Browser support (fallback for older browsers):**
+
+`.toSorted()` is available in all modern browsers (Chrome 110+, Safari 16+, Firefox 115+, Node.js 20+). For older environments, use spread operator:
+
+```typescript
+// Fallback for older browsers
+const sorted = [...items].sort((a, b) => a.value - b.value)
+```
+
+**Other immutable array methods:**
+
+- `.toSorted()` - immutable sort
+- `.toReversed()` - immutable reverse
+- `.toSpliced()` - immutable splice
+- `.with()` - immutable element replacement
