No Description

Run this test again Return to test menu

Result: Discarded

The test labeled "float" was the faster by 0.0352 seconds, (5.514% faster)

float 100%

integer 94.486%

The float test took 0.604 seconds.
The integer test took 0.6393 seconds.

Nitty-Gritty

Each test case ran 20 random code order iterations consisting of 153,905 loops for a total of 3,078,100 runs.

Line execution difference (0.000011) milliseconds.
Avg difference (1.762) milliseconds per 153,905 loops.
Total difference 35.25 milliseconds for 3,078,100 loops

The iteration variablity for Code 1 was (3.9526) milliseconds and Code 2 was (4.1387) 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'];
