In python3 using
|
1 |
string = "" |
or
|
1 |
string = str() |
Produces the same result for the programmer. Which one is faster? Using the python module timeit, it’s really easy to find out!
Using string="" is WAY faster.
Here’s the source code for my tests:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
from timeit import timeit durations = [1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, 10000000, 100000000, 1000000000] definition_techniques = ['s=""', 's=str()'] for definition_technique in definition_techniques: print(definition_technique + ' durations') for duration in durations: print(timeit(definition_technique, number=duration)) |
