will using Const make the script goes faster

[WolfWorld]

like the topic title said

also

Global Const $a = 5

while 1

If $a = 5 then ...

wend

and

Global $a = 5

while 1

If $a = 5 then ...

wend

Which one will go faster ?? any ideas

[Jos]

doubt there will be much difference but you could test it yourself ..

[WolfWorld]

- -* so which one

what about

Global Const $a = 5

while 1

If stringregexp($a,'5') then ...

wend

and

Global $a = 5

while 1

If stringregexp($a,'5') then ...

wend

is anyone of it gona be faster ??

- -* testing

my pc sux man i got 15.456 one time and 45.4563 one time - -* and 35 one time

try something like this to test:

Global $a = 5
$t = TimerInit()
For $x = 1 to 1000000
    If StringRegExp($a, '5') Then 
    EndIf
Next
ConsoleWrite('@@ (6) :(' & @min & ':' & @sec & ') TimerDiff($t) = ' & TimerDiff($t) & @CRLF);### Debug Console

and then

Global const $a = 5
$t = TimerInit()
For $x = 1 to 1000000
    If StringRegExp($a, '5') Then 
    EndIf
Next
ConsoleWrite('@@ (6) :(' & @min & ':' & @sec & ') TimerDiff($t) = ' & TimerDiff($t) & @CRLF);### Debug Console

Run both a couple of times and see if there is a difference.

I know it was posted in 2007, but if somebody still want to know if script works faster with Const, it may not work faster.
Tested on my computer, it may be different in your computer, sorry for this messy script:
 

Global $nct = 0, $yct = 0
Global $number = 63064;Recommended to use 100000
Global Const $numberConst = $number
Global $a = $number
Global Const $b = $number
MsgBox(0,Null,"Please close programs to avoid high CPU/RAM usage."&@CRLF&"Press OK to continue.")
sleep(1000)
For $i = 0 to 10
    $t = Null
    sleep(100)

    $t = TimerInit()
    For $x = 1 to $a
        If StringRegExp($a, $number) Then
        EndIf
    Next
    $nct += TimerDiff($t)

    $t = Null
    sleep(100)

    $t = TimerInit()
    For $x = 1 to $b
        If StringRegExp($b, $numberConst) Then
        EndIf
    Next
    $yct += TimerDiff($t)

Next
MsgBox(0,Null,"Global Const took "&$yct&"ms"&@CRLF&"Global took "&$nct&"ms" & @CRLF)
MsgBox(0,Null,"Differience "&Round($yct/$nct*100,5)&"%" & @CRLF)
sleep(2000)
