Getting the time a function takes to do something? - Magic_Time - 19.09.2013

Hi, I'm new at this.
How can I check the time that function takes to get a string lenght?

PHP код:



stock GetLength(string[])

{

    new count;

    for(new i; string[i]; i++)

    {

        count++;

    }

    return count;

}

Don't tell me that strlen already does it.

Use GetTickCount function to know the time.

pawn Код:

public OnFilterScriptInit()
{
 new tick = GetTickCount();
 printf("Time taken to determine the length of 'Hi there' : %d (Len : %d)", GetTickCount() - tick, GetLength("Hi there"));
 return 1;
}

stock GetLength(string[])
{
 new count;
 for(new i; string[i]; i++)
 {
  count++;
 }
 return count;
}

Which one is faster, either strlen or the GetLength one?

I tried the benchmarking function by Slice, I have the following results:

Код:

[23:27:43]  Bench for GetLength: executes, by average, 438.30 times/ms.
[23:27:45]  Bench for strlen: executes, by average, 592.69 times/ms.

Код:

[01:39:30]  Bench for GetLenght: executes, by average, 949.48 times/ms.
[01:39:30]  Bench for strlen: executes, by average, 2914.92 times/ms.

your code.
