[Philip Birk-Jensen](https://hashnode.com/@BirkAndMe) [May 3, 2024](https://hashnode.com/posts/optimizing-performance-in-javascript-best-practices/6631d3a8907a7bb75750cd2a/comment/6634b5e0ba3f009b5cb55264) Some good generalized tips, however the example in "Optimize Loops" section seems to be off. The two loops seems identical, except for the extra square variable. Maybe the wrong snippets have been pasted into the example, or maybe I'm missing something obvious? [Philip Birk-Jensen](https://hashnode.com/@BirkAndMe) [May 6, 2024](https://hashnode.com/posts/optimizing-performance-in-javascript-best-practices/6631d3a8907a7bb75750cd2a/comment/6634b5e0ba3f009b5cb55264#reply-663882dd76371658e24c1670) I agree with the readability, especially if things start evolving into something more complex. I will always favor readability over micro optimization (at least in the initial part of development). That being said, I still think the example is wrong, there's no calculations moved outside the loop, it's moved to a temporary variable. In both examples one multiplication and one addition is performed every loop iteration.
