In this post, we will see the fastest ways to iterate a List. We start creating a Console Application called ReadList and then, we add a Class called Core: [CORE.CS] Now, we will add four methods to iterate the List using the statements For, Foreach, List<T>.Foreach and Foreach with CollectionsMarshal.AsSpan: FOR(We are not sure that… Read More »
In this post, we will see what Big O notation is and how to use it to optimize our algorithms.But first of all, what is Big O notation?From Wikipedia:“Big O notation is a mathematical notation that describes the limiting behaviour of a function when the argument tends towards a particular value or infinity. Big O is a member of a family of notations invented by Paul Bachmann,… Read More »
In this post, we will see how to use the library BenchmarkDotNet for testing the performance of our methods.But first of all, what is BenchmarkDotNet?“BenchmarkDotNet is a lightweight, open-source, powerful .NET library that can transform our methods into benchmarks, track the performance, and then provide insights into the performance data captured”.I want to specify that… Read More »
In this post, we will see two interesting features introduced with C# 11.For the complete list of all new features, go to the Microsoft web site. In order to use C# 11, we have to install .NET 7.0 that we can download here:https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/7.0 We select our OS (in my case Windows x64), we download the… Read More »
