Dear Monks,
I recently read this post on
shuffling arrays. I put together a couple other methods of shuffling using the Knuth shuffle.
#! /usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @randomarray = ( 0 .. 100 );
my $sub1 = sub {
for(my $j, my $x, my $i = scalar @randomarray; $i;$j = int(ran
+d($i)), $x = $randomarray[--$i], $randomarray[$i] = $randomarray[$j],
+ $randomarray[$j]
= $x){
}
};
my $sub2 = sub {
my $i = scalar @randomarray;
while ($i){
my $j = int(rand($i));
my $x = $randomarray[--$i]; #next value
$randomarray[$i] = $randomarray[$j]; #next value = ran
+dom value
$randomarray[$j] = $x; #current random value = next va
+lue.
}
};
use Benchmark;
timethese(100000, {
'Sub 1' => $sub1,
'Sub 2' => $sub2,
});
I was wondering if I could get a little help to obfuscate the above benchmarks a little more? In true Perl style, such as perhaps using map or other better ways to iterate through the algorithm to help it gain even a better edge.
Here are my benchmark results:
Benchmark: timing 100000 iterations of Sub 1, Sub 2...
Sub 1: 28 wallclock secs (27.37 usr + 0.00 sys = 27.37 CPU) @ 36
+54.01/s (n=100000)
Sub 2: 40 wallclock secs (32.25 usr + 0.00 sys = 32.25 CPU) @ 31
+00.78/s (n=100000)
It looks like using the For loop is a bit faster. Thank you for any comments in advance.
Cheers!
