Which is better? - BlasterDev - 03.10.2018

Option 1:

Код:

enum efuncs
{
 estring[256 char];
}
new func[][efuncs];
{
 {"Text example"},
 {"Text example 2"}
};

or

Option 2:

Код:

GetFunction(id)
{
 new string[256 char];
 switch(id)
 {
   case 1: format(string, sizeof(string), "Text example");
   case 2: format(string, sizeof(string), "Text example 2");
 }
 return string;
}

I did the examples without thinking, just thinking about which concept to use.

How about doing this instead?

pawn Код:

new const func[][] =
{
 {"Text example"},
 {"Text example 2"}
};

And later on you just use the array in wherever you want it: SendClientMessage(playerid,-1,func[id]);

I am not using them both. just use an array better.

Right, I know I'm not the original poster of this, but now you've indeed intrigued me. Have I been doing this wrong for all these years?
What's the other option, because as far as I see it, other than packing the string, there's not much else that can be done.

Obviously, if we're talking about 2 strings in the array, I would not even make an array, where I'd rather resort to an if statement or ternary operator, but in a case of 50 or 100 random messages?

EDIT:

Oh, interesting... I have been doing this wrong all this time. Would've thought that if I was doing it wrong, the compiler might've said anything about the array dimensions not matching or any other weird behaviour happening.

That is because the compiler removed the additional braces for you, resulting in the same output
The problem is if you add another dimension (func[][][]) the brace version would still compile
