Effortlessly split large collections into smaller chunks.
𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀.
2️⃣ 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗕𝘆/𝗠𝗮𝘅𝗕𝘆
Find the minimum or maximum element based on a selector.
𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗼𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀.
3️⃣ 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗕𝘆 / 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗕𝘆
Perform set operations on collections 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆.
4️⃣ 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲/𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗽𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘅
Now includes the 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘅 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 for more flexible filtering logic.
5️⃣ 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗕𝘆
Extract distinct elements 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿, perfect for removing 𝗱𝘂𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗼𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀.
6️⃣ 𝗭𝗶𝗽𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵
Combine two collections into one using a 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿, ideal for parallel 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀.

🎯 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀

🔹 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘅: Reduces boilerplate code for common operations.
🔹 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Optimized for handling large collections efficiently.
🔹 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Makes queries 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱.

📌 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀

🔸 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀: Chunk large datasets for batch processing or statistical analysis.
🔸 𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Use 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗕𝘆 and 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗕𝘆 to handle API responses with overlapping data.
🔸 𝗨𝗜 𝗥𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴: Use 𝗭𝗶𝗽𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 to merge data sources for dynamic UI components.

.𝗡𝗘𝗧 𝟵’𝘀 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗤 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 continue to simplify and enhance data manipulation, enabling developers to write 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗿, 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲. Are you using these new methods yet?
