👉 In the context of computer science and software development, "pretanning" is a technique used to optimize the performance of computer programs by reducing the amount of memory that needs to be allocated for each operation. This technique involves minimizing the use of variables and data structures that require more memory than necessary, thereby reducing the total size of the program. Specifically, pretanning can be achieved through the use of techniques such as memoization, which stores previously computed values in a cache or on disk to avoid redundant
