Re: Re: Reporting

I think the question was more of which of the following is faster:

if ($#array >= 0)

### or ...

if (@array > 0)

Both of those are better written as `if (@array) {`. Its likely to be less ops as well.	[reply] [d/l]

Im actually thinking the question was. Which is faster? `$num = scalar(@array); # or $num = $#array;` [download] And as someone pointed out $#array isnt acurate as to the actual number of elements in the array, so I guess you could simply compare the op trees of the two. Or I guess perform 3 benchmarks, 1) plain 2) scalar(@array) - 1 3) $#array + 1; /* And the Creator, against his better judgement, wrote man.c */	[reply] [d/l]
