How would you approach optimizing an algorithm that is currently operating with a time complexity of O(n^2) to achieve better performance, especially in a large dataset scenario?

COVER // HOW WOULD YOU APPROACH OPTIMIZING AN ALGORITHM THAT IS CURRENTLY OPERATING WITH A TIME COMPLEXITY OF O(N^2) TO ACHIEVE BETTER PERFORMANCE, ESPECIALLY IN A LARGE DATASET SCENARIO?

To optimize an O(n^2) algorithm, I would first analyze the algorithm to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement. Common strategies include using more efficient data structures, applying divide-and-conquer techniques, or adopting algorithms with better theoretical time complexity such as O(n log n) or O(n).
