Re: iteration without storing a variable

I was more talking about the speed differences between ruby and python. On Wed, 25 Mar 2009 20:13:13 +0100 Stefan Behnel wrote: > Josh Dukes wrote: > > $ time python -c 'a = "A"; > > for r in xrange(10): a += "A" ' > > > > real0m0.

iteration without storing a variable

s essentially zero cost (sound right?). $ time python -c 'for r in xrange(100): pass' real0m0.210s user0m0.210s sys 0m0.000s $ time ruby -e '100.times { }' real0m0.259s user0m0.250s sys 0m0.000s Anyone see anything I missed?

bool evaluations of generators vs lists

first value is detected*. I'd really expect it to act more like... def has_values(g): for i in g: return True return False So what's going on here? Am I using the wrong function or is this actually just a bug? -- Josh Dukes MicroVu IT Department -- http://mail.
