In a performance-critical application, minimizing the reshuffling of array elements is vital. What method might be avoided when removing elements due to its time complexity?
- splice()
- push()
- pop()
- shift()
The splice() method should be avoided when removing elements from an array in a performance-critical application because it has a time complexity of O(n) due to the need to shift elements after the removal. Methods like pop() (O(1)), shift() (O(1)), or slice() (O(n)) may be more appropriate.
