Is there any iteration style we must use to get faster processing
time? I've tried with some style to concat number in list. But I still
don't know which one is the recommended style. def useListIteration():
list = [str(element) for element in range(5)]
result = ""
for item in list:
result += item
return result
def useNormalIteration():
list = [str(element) for element in range(5)]
result = ""
for index in range(len(list)):
result += list[index]
return result
def useJoin():
list = [str(element) for element in range(5)]
return "".join(list)
useListIteration()
'01234' useNormalIteration()
'01234' useJoin()
'01234' def getTimer():
from timeit import Timer
t1 = Timer("useListIteration", "from __main__ import
useListIteration")
t2 = Timer("useNormalIteration", "from __main__ import
useNormalIteration")
t3 = Timer("useJoin", "from __main__ import useJoin")
print "Using list iteration: ", min(t1.repeat())
print "Using normal iteration: ", min(t2.repeat())
print "Using join: " , min(t3.repeat())
getTimer()
Using list iteration: 0.0700158819068
Using normal iteration: 0.0701589168456
Using join: 0.0685698880724 getTimer()
Using list iteration: 0.070928567737
Using normal iteration: 0.0698613929983
Using join: 0.0693454056312 getTimer()
Using list iteration: 0.0683511451874
Using normal iteration: 0.0698585993471
Using join: 0.0708022947051

Yes, definitely this one: def useJoin(): list = [str(element) for element in range(5)] return "".join(list)
You aren't going to get the right results from your getTimer() function
because you are just timing putting the function object on the stack,
rather than actually calling it. def getTimer(): from timeit import Timer t1 = Timer("useListIteration", "from __main__ import useListIteration")
should be t1 = Timer("useListIteration()", "from __main__ import
useListIteration")
print "Using list iteration: ", min(t1.repeat())
Of course now that you are actually calling a function, it should take a
lot longer, so repeating it 3 * 1,000,000 times is way too many. I would
change the number of integers you are concatenating from 5 to 1000 and
run Timer.timeit(number=100) (repeats 3 * 100 times) instead. getTimer()
Using list iteration: 0.751999855042
Using normal iteration: 0.766999959946
Using join: 0.446000099182

Thanks for your correction. Now I've found that using join (list
methods) is better than others.
