I am not sure if this speedtest is accurate but its still shows that switch is faster than ternary operator, using Slice Pawn Playground switch prints Null( 0 ), but I am not sure if my code is right, but Ternary Operator prints around 70+

Switch speed test Code

pawn Code:

#include <a_samp>

main()
{
    new 
        StartCount, 
        EndCount, 
        i
    ;

    StartCount = GetTickCount();
    while(++i < 1000)   
    {
        switch(i)
        {
            case 1000: print(" ");
        }
    }
    EndCount = GetTickCount();

    printf("Switch Statement Speed to locate 1000 i's: %d", (EndCount - StartCount));
}

Result

Code:

Switch Statement Speed to locate 1000 i's: 0
Error: read EIO (EIO)

Ternary Operator speed test code

pawn Code:

#include <a_samp>

main()
{
    new 
        StartCount, 
        EndCount, 
        i
    ;
    StartCount = GetTickCount();
    while(++i < 1000)
    {
        print(( i == 1000 ) ? ( " " ) : ( " " ));
    }
    EndCount = GetTickCount();
    printf("Ternary Operator Speed to locate 1000 i's: %d", (EndCount - StartCount));
}

Result

Code:

Ternary Operator Speed to locate 1000 i's: 72
Error: read EIO (EIO)

The server stopped.

Correct me if I did anything wrong on my code, and test it your self using this link: http://slice-vps.nl:7070/
