test on 200k elements

Test on 200000 element size

This is not a representative test of all use cases, it's just a presentation of some cases...

The true strength of a list is the fast adding and removing of elements when the maximum number of elements is unknown (in the beginning) or varies greatly. In this cases you would use a ReDim() on the ...

Maps are actually a lot faster than your test shows. You are creating a map in its simplest form without specifying a bucket count. The default bucket count of a map created in this way is 512, which is far too small for 10k elements. You will have many many collisions, which result in the map ...

If you code a game or graphic , or some business applications , you will consider the speed and performance of the codes .
so to say , how you choose to use which data manipulation function , array or list or map ?

for gamer you may think array is the best for speed ,
but have you ever think about ...

Nice experiments. I never write so much tests for any of my stuff (well, I'm never writing special tests at all ^^)

There are several code-improvement tips to make life harder :)
- do not use any Goto/Gosub jumps
- always turn EnableExplicit for anything which is larger than "helloworld" program ...

It's always good to learn more about data structures and other basic concepts, keep going! :)

However, keep in mind that linked lists are almost never a good idea if you are looking for performance
and generally it is better to just using array buffers and resize them dynamically as copying is ...

In programing ,an array of DATA is highly tie together with a wall in front and at the back , so it look like this :

||[DATA][DATA][DATA][DATA][DATA]||
when create an array , the front and back wall was created first before the [DATA] can be store, and only fixed amount of data were allowed after ...

Although i am age, but hunger to learn ,so i took my self a lesson in free time to do a Experiment to understand more in coding

feel free to test the code or use it if needed.

Any comment welcome ...

Do you like that ? :shock:

Even using REM like a function with text as its param ? Looks pretty ugly yo me.

It's not exactly replacing ";" with "REM"

Or multiple lines which would go inside an IF/ENDIF block now on a single line separated by commas ?

I thought you were not looking for ...

Description

Macros are a very powerful feature, mainly useful for advanced programmers. A macro is a placeholder for some code (one keyword, one line or even many lines), which will be directly ...

You posted this in the "Bugs - Documentation" subforum.
So what exactly is the bug in the documentation that you want to report?


I'm not sure , that's why i ask,
[Macro] Not sure is this a bug or feature

for the MACRO , i suppose understand :

Macro something_to_be_replace
something_actual ...

A macro can't have the same name as a keyword: EndIf.

I don't know where this is officially documented, but I think macro names (like any other identifiers in PB) can only contain digits 0-9 (not at the beginning), characters A-Z, a-z, and "_".

There was so much fun if the macro can replace ...
