Thread: Speed comparison

What kind of performance difference will i see between code being run through the debugger as opposed to creating a standalone project for checking?

This is working on the premise that there are no watch points or break points active and i am just checking through the running state.

Should this be a concern on a small test project ?

i am continually improving my code as i go, as and when i establish better ways to achieve the same goal. but does this :-

Code:

int x;
int y;

x= 50;
y= 50;
for (x=0;x<10;x++)
{
for (y=0;y<10;y++)
{
//dosomething here
}
}

execute any faster than this :-

Code:

for(int x=0;x<10;x++)
{
for(int y=0;y<10;y++)
{
//do something here
}
}

apart from readability, is it any less efficient to declare things as you go ?

thanks

Nope.

don't worry about this stuff. the compiler will optimize it most of the time for you anyways. but assuming no optimizations, the 1st version is slower because x,y are declared to 0 (for C#, not C++), and then it's set to 50, and then it's set to 0 again. the 2nd version it gets set once.
