Re^3: Efficiency of map vs. more verbose basic/fundamental code

Still, I'm having trouble seeing why turning a standard for loop into a statement modifier cuts down on the memory usage.

I didn't suggest it did.

Only that it reduced the memory requirement compared to the map variant; and sourcecode/mindspace compared to the standard for loop.

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.

Ah, my misunderstanding, I see that you didn't suggest what I was assuming. I agree; the statement modifier form uses less mindspace for me too. Aaron B. Available for small or large Perl jobs; see my home node.	[reply]
