The (int) test took 0.6933 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 132,626 loops for a total of 2,652,520 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000008) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (1.069) milliseconds per 132,626 loops.
- Total difference 21.39 milliseconds for 2,652,520 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (6.9816) milliseconds and Code 2 was (6.7516) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "(int)", was:
for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++) $i = (int) '42 ';
The second test, "intval()", was:
for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++) $i = intval('42 ');
