PHP: Always use an index to add a values to an array

 

Demand

Always identify the array index when manipulating the array directly


Description

Whenever you are adding a new item to the array you must add an index so that php does not need to recalculate the size of the array to identify in which position the new content will be added.

Examples

1:  # Bad code:  
2:  do {  
3:    $array[] = $newItem;  
4:  } while(!feof($fp));  
5:    
6:  # Good code  
7:  $array = [];  
8:  $index = 0;  
9:  do {  
10:    $array[$index++] = $newItem;  
11:  } while(!feof($fp));


Examples Explanation

When instantiating a new item in an array in the "bad example" php will identify that you expect the item to be added to the end of the array, since array is a primitive type and has no attributes php always needs to call a calculation function to identify the current size of the array before trying to add a new item to the end of it.

By monitoring the growth of the array in an external variable and automatically reference which position will be the new position, it speeds up the instantiating as it avoids constantly recalculating the size of the array. As seen in the "good sample".

NestJS Clustering: Advanced techniques to increase NestJS Apps response

In today’s fast-evolving digital landscape, performance and scalability have become the lifeblood of modern applications. As advanced JavaScript developers, we continuously seek strategies to optimize our code and leverage every ounce of our infrastructure. NestJS clustering promises not just incremental improvements but exponential enhancements by fully unlocking the potential of your virtual machines. This article delves into NodeJS clustering within the NestJS framework, exploring its theoretical underpinnings, offering practical, code-rich examples, and even highlighting an experimental twist that can set your application apart. Unlocking the Power of NodeJS Clustering At its core, NodeJS clustering is about taking full advantage of multi-core systems. Typical NodeJS apps run as single-threaded processes, which can be a bottleneck when you need to handle a massive number of concurrent operations. Clustering allows you to spin up multiple worker processes that share the same server ...

General: Prevent arbitrary precision arithmetic

Demand Some simple decimal calculations like 4.6 * 100 may lead in irregularities when dealing with numbers. Description During arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, the numbers are manipulated according to the rules defined by the IEEE 754 standard. However, due to the finite precision of the representation, rounding errors may occur, leading to small discrepancies between the expected and actual results of computations. In simpler terms, the computer operates using powers of 2 (binary-based), so whenever we need to work with a number that cannot be exactly represented in binary (like 0.1, which is a base-10 fraction), it uses an approximation rather than an infinite number and is incapable of presenting the exact correct value. To prevent it we may use some libraries to prevent the problem. In Javascript and Typescript we have the BigNumbers library (and others). PHP has a built-in library for arbitrary-precision arithmetic called BCMath (Bin...
