David,
The posting was "Re: Very slow array searching" by "George P."
<snip>
Or, for the memory conscious,
(since foreach involves loading all elements into memory)
$l_status = 'FALSE';
for (my $i=0; $i < @numbers; $i++)
{
if ($numbers[$i] == $l_number)
{
$l_status = 'TRUE';
last;
}
}
</snip>
I'm not sure how to benchmark this, but would be very interested if
someone knew how. I'd like to see it just for fun.
Hope this helps,
Kevin
