Re: [julia-users] How to build iteratively a large Julia string

[Maurice Diamantini]

René and Jameson , thank you very much for your answers,

For completeness here one more test by incrementally building a large 
string.

    function f4(strings) 
        buf = "" 
        for s in strings 
            buf *= s
        end 
        buf 
    end 
    # @time f4(strings);
    # I'm yet waiting for result! => Ctl-c

    @time f4(strings[1:10_000]);

  # elapsed time: 0.43980588 seconds (401020144 bytes allocated, 78.57% gc 
time)

    @time f4(strings[1:100_000]);
    # elapsed time: 48.910219384 seconds (40008864504 bytes allocated, 
66.90% gc time)
