cooldude832 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Lets say (hypothethically) I have an array of 2000 numbers and I need to perform 1000 actions on these numbers. and my server allows me to upload c/c++ scripts. Would it be faster to use php to do the 2 million math operations or allow C/C++ to run it and use the return of that as the done function. I'm not asking is C/C++ faster than php i'm asking is the bonus from going to C/C++ enough to compensate for the function exec() Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/56858-which-is-fast-for-math-purposes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Whenever I'm faced with such a dilemma I try it both ways and time it (www.php.net/microtime) But my money's on compiled C++ code rather than an interpreted script.
