A better way to do this pattern? - Rotzank - 29.09.2017

So I'm doing this

PHP Code:



for(new i = 0; i < 10; i++)

{

    printf("%i", i - (((i - 5) * 2) * (i / 5)));

}

 

// output

[00:49:20] 0

[00:49:20] 1

[00:49:20] 2

[00:49:20] 3

[00:49:20] 4

[00:49:20] 5

[00:49:20] 4

[00:49:20] 3

[00:49:20] 2

[00:49:20] 1

I just wanna know if there's a better way to do that.

You are worrying too much too early. Unless you notice that it's a bottleneck, I would not worry about it. However if you want more readable code, I'd go with

pawn Code:

new
    total = 10,
    peak = total / 2
;

for(new i = 0; i < total; i++) 
{
    new j = i;
    if (i >= peak) {
        j = total - i;
    }

    printf("%i", j); 
}
