I don't think it makes a difference. Euphoria would appear to be executing the for loop the 'smart' way. I did a quick test with this code-- sequence s s=repeat(32,50000000) atom a,t0,loop_overhead integer lengthofs t0=time() lengthofs=length(s) for c=1 to lengthofs do a=power(2,20) end for loop_overhead=time()-t0 puts(1,sprintf("%d seconds",loop_overhead)) ...and then tried it, replacing this line: for c=1 to lengthofs do with this one: for c=1 to length(s) do and it ran at the same speed. This code was just lifted from the docs located in C:\EUPHORIA\HTML\LIB_S_T.HTM, and slightly modified... --Ted --On Saturday, April 28, 2001 12:01 PM +0200 martin.stachon at worldonline.cz wrote: > > > > Need a better decision-making tool to research, evaluate and > select software for enterprise applications or manufacturing > point solutions?
