Curing the common loop
summary
Shows concrete refactorings that remove loops, conditionals and temporary variables by using higher‑order functions on Laravel collections, demonstrating the same $2.9M result after replacing nested loops with map filter flatMap reduce sum pipelines. Uses PHP/Laravel collection methods like pluck and contains to simplify logic, runs Valet tests to prove correctness, and replaces ad‑hoc array code with readable Collection::map()->filter()->sum() chains that keep behavior and eliminate state.
