Which is faster? - Battlezone - 26.06.2014

I got:

pawn Код:

#define JOHN    0
#define DOG     1
#define DRAKE   2
#define MILEY   3

then i make a stock like this one (uhh its just an example)

pawn Код:

stock MakePlayerDance(playerid)
{
    //
}

now under OnPlayerSpawn , I want to make all of them dance, so i got 2 solutions, either i make a loop or i just use switch statements

1-

pawn Код:

for(new i = 0; i < 4; ++i)  MakePlayerDance(i);

or 2-

pawn Код:

switch(playerid)
{
      case JOHN:
}

which is faster / less memory using ( btw in my real script i got over 36 case)
(+ please don't tell me you could use foreach, in my real script its not about players, i jus didnt find a good example)

Why don't you check for yourself? You can check the time your code takes to execute with GetTickCount. I don't think the difference is noticeable at all though, but i bet the switch is the fastest

okey, one more question, is this the same thing (in speed/performance)?

pawn Код:

for(new i = 0; i < 4; ++i)  MakePlayerDance(i);

pawn Код:

MakePlayerDance(0);
MakePlayerDance(1);
MakePlayerDance(2);
MakePlayerDance(3);
