Problem

Explain best practices for optimizing mobile app performance from a coding perspective. Focus on efficient data structures, reducing repeated work, minimizing memory overhead, and keeping expensive operations away from user-visible paths.

What to Cover

  • Choosing arrays vs hash tables appropriately
  • Avoiding unnecessary recomputation
  • Reducing allocations and temporary objects
  • Improving string and collection processing
  • Keeping heavy work off the main thread

What This Tests

  • Ability to connect algorithmic thinking to app responsiveness
  • Understanding of time/space trade-offs
  • Practical knowledge of common performance pitfalls
