There are still plenty more ways to skin that cat :)

Why subtract and add; when you can just subtract. And why compare to zero when it is unnecessary:

#! perl use strict; use warnings; use Benchmark qw( cmpthese ); my $n = 1e6; my $foreach_loop_total = 0; my $c_for_loop_total = 0; my $while_loop_total = 0; my $while_loop_total2 = 0; cmpthese 100, { foreach_loop => \&foreach_loop, c_for_loop => \&c_for_loop, while_loop => \&while_loop, while_loop2 => \&while_loop2, }; print "\$foreach_loop_total = $foreach_loop_total\n"; print "\$c_for_loop_total = $c_for_loop_total\n"; print "\$while_loop_total = $while_loop_total\n"; print "\$while_loop_total2 = $while_loop_total2\n"; sub foreach_loop { $foreach_loop_total -= $_ for -$n .. 0; } sub c_for_loop { for (my $j = $n; $j >= 0; --$j) { $c_for_loop_total += $j; } } sub while_loop { my $n = $n; $while_loop_total += $n-- while $n; } sub while_loop2 { use integer; my $n = $n; $while_loop_total2 += $n-- while $n; } __END__ C:\test>junk Rate c_for_loop while_loop while_loop2 foreach_loo +p c_for_loop 4.94/s -- -22% -39% -44 +% while_loop 6.31/s 28% -- -22% -28 +% while_loop2 8.07/s 63% 28% -- -8 +% foreach_loop 8.76/s 77% 39% 8% - +- $foreach_loop_total = 50000050000000 $c_for_loop_total = 50000050000000 $while_loop_total = 50000050000000 $while_loop_total2 = 50000050000000

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
