Autoit vs C++ ? Who won ?

Nothing

Just made this code.  I'll have to go back and see how you're doing timing (I normally use SDL libraries)

But this works it bangs Hello World out at the console.

I'll make an fopen version and check how you're doing timings like I said.

#include <fstream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Hello World\n");
    }

    fprintf(stderr, "Program exited\n");
    return 0;
} // END main(int argc, char *argv[])

The loop is so I have a chance to see it.

Removes file stderr.txt (to delete contents each run)

Populates a stderr.txt file with output.

 

#include <fstream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

    // Blank out the file by removing it
    remove("stderr.txt");
    
    // Open stream to file for appending data
    FILE *file = fopen("stderr.txt", "a");

    for(int counter = 0; counter < 10000; counter++){
        // Percent d %d b/c counter is decimal number
        fprintf(file, "%d: Hello World\n", counter);
    }
    
    ; Close the file stream
    fclose(file);
    return 0;
} // END main(int argc, char *argv[])

I see timing isn't important in the code.  You're not doing it there so I ignored a timer.

It is SO fast.

You're right it's so fast i was  using bad code.

[Xandy]

I learned about: WritePrivateProfileString here

[LerN]

I also learned how to write the good code and i learned about fprintf

[LarsJ]

A possible conclusion: C/C++ seems to be faster. AutoIt seems to be easier.

You didn't learn that from me.
