"The \`forEach()\` method is perfect when I need to do something with each performance but don't need to create a new array," Alex explains. "It's **O(n) time complexity** and is ideal for side effects like logging, updating databases, or generating reports."

"It takes all my performance data and 'reduces' it down to a single value - whether that's a total, an average, or even a complex object with statistics. It's **O(n) time complexity** and incredibly versatile."

"Exactly!" Alex confirms. "The \`slice()\` method is **O(k) time complexity**, where k is the number of elements I'm extracting. It's perfect for getting specific ranges of data, creating backups, or extracting samples for analysis. The original data stays completely untouched."
