it seems that range() can be really slow:
the following program will run, and the last line shows how long it ran
for:
import time
startTime = time.time()
a = 1.0
for i in range(0, 30000):
if i in range (0, 10000):
a += 1
if not i % 1000: print i
print a, " ", round(time.time() - startTime, 1), "seconds"
---------------------------------
the last line of output is
---------------------------------
10001.0 22.8 seconds
so if i change the line
if i in range (0, 10000):
to
if i >= 0 and i < 10000:
the the last line is
10001.0 0.2 seconds
so approximately, the program ran 100 times faster!
or is there an alternative use of range() or something similar that can
be as fast?
