Key Concepts And Best Practices For Efficient Code

Efficient code can be defined by numerous factors, in addition to what others deem necessary based on their experiences. Per this article, we will define it as: Measuring and comparing your code on its design, optimization, and performance; while considering its use cases, compute resources, quality, scalability, and structure. Along with our definition, it is important to understand some key concepts before we dive further into some best practices and additional support to contextualize our definition.
