What is Efficiency
PAGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
Efficiency is how long it takes to run a script. For example, it is faster to do integer a = 3.1415926535 than integer a = PI. This is because it takes to computer time to determine the value for PI, and then set it to a.
For a similar reason, there are many random ways to speed up scripts, such as using ++a instead of a++.
Rules for posting
The following code snipit will allow testing of a function.
default {
state_entry() {
integer i = 0;
while (i < 1) {
++a;
}
}
}
Things that are faster
++a is the fastest then there is a += 1 finally a++
