Re^5: printing every 2nd entry in a list backwards

by creating a file with 1_000_000 entries, each line having 10 numbers and then running the script against it

I still can't reproduce your evidence.

$ perl -wMstrict -le 'print join(" ",map {int(rand(100))-50} 1..10) fo
+r 1..1000000' >in.txt
$ time python list.py in.txt >pyout.txt

real    0m1.964s
user    0m1.934s
sys    0m0.028s
$ time perl 1190602.pl in.txt >out2.txt

real    0m1.953s
user    0m1.921s
sys    0m0.028s

I just tried it on my laptop: `$ python --version Python 2.7.12 $ time python every-second-item-reversed.py in.txt > pyout.txt real 0m1.927s user 0m1.898s sys 0m0.028s` [download] `$ perl -v This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 2 (v5.18.2) built for x86_64-li +nux-thread-multi [...] $ time perl every-second-item-reversed-haukex.py in.txt > haukex-out.t +xt real 0m2.309s user 0m2.290s sys 0m0.020s` [download] No differences in the two output files. However, note Perl 5.24.1 is faster than both Python 2.7.12 and Perl 5.18.1: `$ perl5.24.1 -v This is perl 5, version 24, subversion 1 (v5.24.1) built for x86_64-li +nux-thread-multi [...] $ time perl5.24.1 every-second-item-reversed-haukex.py in.txt > haukex +-out-5.24.1.txt real 0m1.759s user 0m1.740s sys 0m0.016s` [download] And also Python 3.4 is slower than any of the above: `$ python3.4 --version Python 3.4.5 $ time python3.4 every-second-item-reversed.py in.txt > pyout-3.4.txt real 0m2.493s user 0m2.444s sys 0m0.048s` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Good point! In my test above I was pitting Python 2.7.6 against Perl 5.22.0. I can confirm that both Perl 5.18.2. and Python 3.4.3 are slower by a factor of roughly 1.3 to 1.4 on my machine (those are just the versions I have lying around at the moment).	[reply]
