Hi All, In response to a message I posted recently, many users expressed strong opinion against the pre-assignment (or "declaration") of variables at the top of a subroutine. Although I dont normally do this in my programs I would like to understand the impact on memory fragmentation of repetitively DIMing an array or even doing a plain string assignment (with no change in size) e.g: SUBROUTINE ABC FOR I = 1 TO 1000000 ... GOSUB PROCESS NEXT RETURN PROCESS: DIM A(100000) D.LINE = STR("=",132) .... RETURN As opposed to: SUBROUTINE ABC DIM A(1000000) D.LINE = STR("=",132)
FOR I = 1 TO 1000000 ..... GOSUB PROCESS NEXT RETURN PROCESS: .... RETURN --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today! Download Messenger Now -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
