Lazy Update

Lazy Update is a technique used in computer systems and algorithms to improve efficiency. Instead of updating or processing data immediately after every change, updates are delayed until they are truly needed—for example, when the data is next accessed. This approach reduces the number of unnecessary operations, saving time and resources. It’s especially useful in situations where changes happen frequently but not all are immediately critical, allowing systems to perform updates more strategically and efficiently when necessary.
