Hi all
I mentioned in a recent post that I noticed an inconsistency in timeit, and
then reported that I must have made a mistake.
I have now identified my problem, but I don't understand it.
C:\Python32\Lib>timeit.py "int(float('165.0'))"
100000 loops, best of 3: 3.52 usec per loop
C:\Python32\Lib>timeit.py "int(float('165.0'))"
100000 loops, best of 3: 3.51 usec per loop
C:\Python32\Lib>timeit.py 'int(float("165.0"))'
10000000 loops, best of 3: 0.0888 usec per loop
C:\Python32\Lib>timeit.py 'int(float("165.0"))'
10000000 loops, best of 3: 0.0887 usec per loop
I ran them both twice just to be sure.
The first two use double-quote marks to surround the statement, and
single-quote marks to surround the literal inside the statement.
The second two swap the quote marks around.
Can someone explain the difference?
I am using python 3.2 on Windows Server 2003.
Thanks
Frank Millman
