Result: Discarded
The test labeled "if" was the faster by 0.0537 seconds, (8.458% faster)
The if test took 0.5807 seconds.
The ternary test took 0.6344 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 138,140 loops for a total of 2,762,800 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000019) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (2.683) milliseconds per 138,140 loops.
- Total difference 53.66 milliseconds for 2,762,800 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (5.6175) milliseconds and Code 2 was (7.9237) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "if", was:
for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++) { if ($GLOBALS['dummy_true']) $GLOBALS['dummy'] = 2; else $GLOBALS['dummy'] = 6; }
The second test, "ternary", was:
for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++) $GLOBALS['dummy'] = $GLOBALS['dummy_true'] ? 2 : 6;
