No Description

Run this test again Return to test menu

Result: Discarded

The test labeled "float" was the faster by 0.0152 seconds, (2.864% faster)

float 100%

integer 97.136%

The float test took 0.5167 seconds.
The integer test took 0.5319 seconds.

Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 132,762 loops for a total of 2,655,240 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000006) milliseconds.
Avg difference (0.762) milliseconds per 132,762 loops.
Total difference 15.23 milliseconds for 2,655,240 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (2.2232) milliseconds and Code 2 was (2.5950) 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'];
