Split Loop
Goal
Each loop does one thing; mixed-purpose loops separate into named single-purpose passes.
Before the refactoring
let totalSalary = 0;
let youngest = Infinity;
for (const p of people) {
if (p.age < youngest) youngest = p.age;
totalSalary += p.salary;
}After the refactoringconst totalSalary = people.reduce((s, p) => s + p.salary, 0);
const youngest = Math.min(...people.map(p => p.age));Savings
Each loop can then be replaced by a pipeline or extracted by name; bugs concentrate in one purpose at a time.
Note
Two loops over the same collection are slower than one — only split when the doubled cost is dwarfed by the readability gain (which it usually is).
