How can I optimize performance when using map and filter in JavaScript?

To optimize performance, consider using a single loop instead of separate map and filter calls. This reduces iterations.

Can you give me an example of using a single loop?

Sure! Instead of doing array.map(...) followed by array.filter(...), you can do:

const result = [];
for (const item of array) {
    if (condition(item)) {
        result.push(transform(item));
    }
}

What about using forEach instead of map?

Using forEach is similar to a single loop, but it doesn't return a new array. If you need to transform and filter, stick with the single loop approach.

Are there any performance benchmarks for these methods?

Yes, benchmarks show that reducing the number of iterations significantly improves performance, especially with large datasets.
