This blog is dedicated to methodology development of the scientific approach to computer science education and cybersecurity fields like digital forensics and information assurance. This site is not intended as a reference for practitioners of cybersecurity, but a guidance for those entering this field and would like to learn the basics of the scientific approach and methodological testing of scientific problems that is missing from a basic computer science and technology based STEM education.
A: If you find different ways to accomplish the same thing, make sure to test the performance of the code each way at least 3 times and average the results just like in other science classes like physics. I do not see any noticeable difference in any of these implementations. Do you?
A: A loop is nothing else, but an if statement with a jump. What you do after the comparison and before the jump does not matter. It will not be a jump that slows your code down, but the block that does the work. If you find an example and you can test for performance issues, than we have a case, but until then this is just a rumor. You will also investigate if the code is using the stack or using dynamic heap memory, since that will affect the performance of a code running, but not he simple jump.
Test results do not show any difference. Any suggestions, comments? Please, include sample code and/or testing methodology to show any difference that you might believe exists.
