for loop benchmarking - int - Jul 3, 2018
Hello, was just wondering a bit about the best variable to use to iterate through an array.
https://github.com/NullFlex/benchmarking_forloops
I tried ulong, int, and uint.
ulong and uint beat int by a lot.
in smaller arrays, uint and ulong had a major advantage.
In bigger arrays, they had a slight advantage.
What really is the best variable for this job?
Not completely sure if my timing method is accurate though.

Depends on what kind of numbers you’re working with, each integral type allocates a different amount of memory. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/integral-types-table

Very nice, I was looking for a table like this.
I saw one for c++ a while ago.

I live MSDN, great documentation for just about anything in the .NET Framework.
