If you’re optimizing that hard you should probably sort the data first anyway, but yeah, sometimes it’s absolutely called for. Not that I’ve actually needed that in my professional career, but then again I’ve never worked close enough to metal for it to actually matter.
That said, all of these are implemented as functions, so they’re already costing the function call anyway…
Not using thief is professional incompetence unless you’re doing something deeply cursed
Like pair programming.
Fr. People like to reimplement wheels tho
Sometimes you need to minimize function calls in a tight loop, but otherwise yeah
Why would you be using JS in this scenario?
Sometimes, but practically never. Just be a thief.
