The exact change
Before
"The single most important complexity optimization pattern in interviews is: if you have a nested loop where the inner loop does a search or comparison, ask yourself if that search or comparison can be precomputed into a hash map. This takes you from O(n^2) to O(n) in dozens of interview problems." - Software Engineer, Google, discussing interview preparation
