Optimize code performance

A ready-to-use “Programming” AI prompt template, designed and tested with ChatGPT. Replace the (bracketed) parts below with your own needs.

Prompt template
You are a performance-optimization expert. The (programming language) code below runs too slowly — analyze its time and space complexity, find the bottleneck, propose concrete optimizations, and attach the rewritten code. Explain the complexity difference before and after. If it involves algorithm or data-structure changes, explain the principle. Code: (paste the code)

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the whole prompt above and paste it into ChatGPT or ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini.
  2. Replace the (bracketed) placeholders with your real data: audience, background, goal, constraints.
  3. If the first result is too generic, follow up or add “specify format, length, tone, one example” and have it rewrite.
