Have you made modifications to the code to improve program performance?

Yes, I made code modifications to improve performance. This usually includes:
- Optimizing algorithms (for example, replacing nested loops with more efficient data structures).
- Using caching to reduce repeated calculations.
- Parallelizing tasks with goroutines or other mechanisms.
- Reducing memory allocations to lessen the load on the garbage collector.
Example: if there was a slow search in a slice in the program, I replaced it with the use of a map for quick access by key.
// Was
func contains(slice []int, val int) bool {
for _, v := range slice {
if v == val {
return true
}
}
return false
}
// Became
func containsMap(m map[int]struct{}, val int) bool {
_, exists := m[val]
return exists
}
This approach significantly speeds up searches with large data volumes.
