Question sizeof - Raimis_R - 28.04.2011

What is the difference between the formating:

pawn Код:

new string[50];
format(string,sizeof(string),"%s...",...);

In this example i'm using sizeof function but i know string size

and in this:

pawn Код:

new string[50];
format(string,50,"%s...",...);

Does it have an impact on the server if i know string size but i using sizeof in formating.

I doubt it

It's the same

Re: Question sizeof - MadeMan - 28.04.2011

No, they both mean 50.

I think using extra function ( sizeof ) it takes more time to proceed the code.

Re: Question sizeof - aircombat - 28.04.2011

maybe the more time u says is like 10 milliseconds so it doesn't really matter but using numbers is a lil bit faster

sizeof is not a function, it's an operator

Hm.. I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. So using it would be the same as using numbers? I'm confused...

Yes.

Sizeof as the name sais will get the size of some array. In your case you declared string as a 50 cells big array. So it will get that "50" and place it instead of "sizeof(string)" when you compile it. So like someone already said, it's the same.

Edit: Wow, I had some big delay between when I clicked to post this, and when that actually got posted.
