Optimize performance with AI assistance

- All right, now, beyond just simple data structures, Copilot can also recognize and suggest algorithmic patterns in your code. So, you might see it propose things like memoizing, which is basically where you write your functions in such a way that they remember results of previous times they were called with specific arguments. And this can be used, we will take a look at an example of this with the Fibonacci sequence a little bit later, how that can really help improve the results that you get with that, can also involve things like switching from stuff like a linear search to a binary search, if that's possible to do, converting recursive logic to like an iterative solution for better stack performance, And there's lots of other things that it can help you out with. So again, I'll show you an example shortly of how it can do things like this. And what you might find also just as a note is, you might see that sometimes Copilot will give you both the naive version and also like a…
