Sorry if this is a silly question but is the to! method from
the conv library the most efficient way of converting an
integer value to a string?
e.g.
string s = to!string(100);
I'm seeing a pretty dramatic slow down in my code when I use a
conversion like this (when looped over 10 million iterations
for benchmarking).
Cheers!
Converting numbers to string involves the most expensive known
two operations : division and modulus by 10.
Cool thanks, so essentially it's unavoidable - I have a
background in PHP programming where we don't really get exposed
to memory allocation, conversions etc. Good to learn. Cheers.
