The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

Interesting: I'm also Win7/64, but .NET 4.0 rather than 4.5.
Adding OrdinalIgnoreCase:
C#
string string1 = File.ReadAllText(@"D:\Temp\MyText.txt");
string string2 = File.ReadAllText(@"D:\Temp\MyText.txt");
int x = 0;
Stopwatch sw1 = new Stopwatch();
sw1.Start();
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
    {
    if (String.Equals(string1, string2, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
        {
        x++;
        }
    }
sw1.Stop();
Console.WriteLine(x);
x = 0;
Stopwatch sw2 = new Stopwatch();
sw2.Start();
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
    {
    if (String.Compare(string1, string2, true) == 0)
        {
        x++;
        }
    }
sw2.Stop();
Console.WriteLine(x);
x = 0;
Stopwatch sw3 = new Stopwatch();
sw3.Start();
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
    {
    if (String.Compare(string1, string2, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) == 0)
        {
        x++;
        }
    }
sw3.Stop();
Console.WriteLine(x);
Console.WriteLine("{0}:{1}:{2}", sw1.ElapsedMilliseconds, sw2.ElapsedMilliseconds,sw3.ElapsedMilliseconds);
gives results similar to yours:
1000
1000
1000

I'm surprised there is such a difference in performance between our machines: mine isn't anywhere near state of the art - more state of the ark! Laugh | :laugh:
