Result: Discarded
The test labeled "float" was the faster by 0.0197 seconds, (1.834% faster)
The float test took 1.0547 seconds.
The integer test took 1.0745 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 288,863 loops for a total of 5,777,260 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000003) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (0.985) milliseconds per 288,863 loops.
- Total difference 19.71 milliseconds for 5,777,260 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (2.7242) milliseconds and Code 2 was (3.0203) milliseconds. The lower and the closer together there values are the more accurate the results are.
Code
The first test, "float", was:
$GLOBALS['dummy'] = 0.0; for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++) $GLOBALS['dummy'] += $GLOBALS['dummy_float'];
The second test, "integer", was:
$GLOBALS['dummy'] = 0; for ($j = 0; $j < 100; $j++) $GLOBALS['dummy'] += $GLOBALS['dummy_int'];
