Result: Discarded
The test labeled "integer" was the faster by 0.0095 seconds, (1.804% faster)
The integer test took 0.5166 seconds.
The float test took 0.5261 seconds.
Nitty-Gritty
Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 134,865 loops for a total of 2,697,300 runs.
- Line execution difference (0.000004) milliseconds.
- Avg difference (0.474) milliseconds per 134,865 loops.
- Total difference 9.49 milliseconds for 2,697,300 loops
The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (2.8484) milliseconds and Code 2 was (1.9105) 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'];
