在检查PHP页面时,我注意到以下代码:
for ($n=10; $n>0; --$n) {
//foo;
}
为什么要在变量前加上减量运算符 ?
--$x
和$x--
是不同的运算符。它们都将变量减1,但是它们返回不同的结果。
-
--$x
:这将减少$x
并返回其新值:$y = --$x; // Is equivalent to // $x = $x-1; // $y = $x;
-
$x--
:减少$x
并返回其原始值:$y = $x--; // Is equivalent to // $y = $x; // $x = $x - 1;
在for
循环中,它应该没有区别。
PHP支持c风格的pre - -
和post - -
自增和自减操作符。
注意:自增/自减操作符只影响数字和字符串。阵列、对象和资源不受影响。递减NULL值也没有影响,但是增加它们的结果是1。
++$a Pre-increment Increments $a by one, then returns $a.
$a++ Post-increment Returns $a, then increments $a by one.
--$a Pre-decrement Decrements $a by one, then returns $a.
$a-- Post-decrement Returns $a, then decrements $a by one.
一个例子:
<?php
echo "<h3>Postincrement</h3>";
$a = 5;
echo "Should be 5: " . $a++ . "<br />'n";
echo "Should be 6: " . $a . "<br />'n";
echo "<h3>Preincrement</h3>";
$a = 5;
echo "Should be 6: " . ++$a . "<br />'n";
echo "Should be 6: " . $a . "<br />'n";
echo "<h3>Postdecrement</h3>";
$a = 5;
echo "Should be 5: " . $a-- . "<br />'n";
echo "Should be 4: " . $a . "<br />'n";
echo "<h3>Predecrement</h3>";
$a = 5;
echo "Should be 4: " . --$a . "<br />'n";
echo "Should be 4: " . $a . "<br />'n";
?>
PHP手册:递增/递减操作符
编辑:for ($n=10; $n>0; --$n) {
echo "Iterating:" . $n . "<br>";
}
输出:Iterating:10
Iterating:9
Iterating:8
Iterating:7
Iterating:6
Iterating:5
Iterating:4
Iterating:3
Iterating:2
Iterating:1
在您的示例中,第一次迭代将把
$n = 10
作为部分,--$n
在for循环的末尾执行。
它们略有不同…这是一种表现;试试
<?php
for($i=0;$i<100000000;++$i){
//heating up the cpu (if it uses some power saving feature or whatever)
}
$i=0;
$PreIncrementStart=microtime(true);
for($i=0;$i<100000000;++$i){
//counting to 100 million, using pre-increment.
}
$PreIncrementEnd=microtime(true);
$i=0;
$PostIncrementStart=microtime(true);
for($i=0;$i<100000000;$i++){
//counting to 100 million, using post-increment.
}
$PostIncrementEnd=microtime(true);
$PreTime=$PreIncrementEnd-$PreIncrementStart;
$PostTime=$PostIncrementEnd-$PostIncrementStart;
if($PreTime<$PostTime){
echo "the fastest was pre-increment. (which totally makes sense, it's consistent with c/c++, and it uses fewer opcodes than the post-increment, and the `old` value is not returned, only the new value, so we don't need 2 values (old value AND new value, as the post-increment does)..)";
} else {
echo "the fastest was post-increment... i am very surprised.";
}
echo "the difference was: ".abs($PreTime-$PostTime)." seconds.";
