binomcdf(N-1,0 is often used to construct a list of a certain length N, but binompdf( can be slightly faster. The difference is about equal to the time for a call to cumSum(. When called with a second argument that is not 0 or 1, binompdf( slows down dramatically, by a factor of 60.

Instructions

First, write the name and model of your calculator in the table below, then use this code with an empty line in the "test code here" space to measure your loop overhead.

Add the number of iterations you used to the "iterations" column, and [time taken]/[iterations] to the "average" column. Then subtract your loop overhead from the result and list it in the "time" column. 

FnOff
PlotsOff
0→Xmin
94→Xmax
-62→Ymin
0→Ymax
DispGraph //if it is a graphing command
startTmr→θ
Repeat checkTmr(θ
End
For(𝑛,1,[iterations])    //sequence variable 𝑛; note the closing parenthesis.
  //test code here
End
checkTmr(θ+1

Math Commands

Unless specified, all variables are equal to 1.

Command Iterations Average (ms) Loop overhead (ms) Time (ms) Username
N=I% and FV=PV 1000 4.? 0.6 ~4 2.55MP/lirtosiast
N+FV[i]=I%+PV[i] 1000 7.? 0.6 ~7 2.55MP/lirtosiast

List/Matrix Commands

Unless specified, all list/matrix elements are equal to 1, and all dimensions are equal to 20.

Command Iterations Average (ms) Overhead (ms) Time (ms) Username
L1 1000 2.? 0.6 ~2 2.55MP/lirtosiast
not(L1 1000 9.? 0.6 ~9 2.55MP/lirtosiast
L1+0 1000 20 0.6 ~20 2.55MP/lirtosiast
cumSum(L1 1000 19 0.6 ~19 2.55MP/lirtosiast
DeltaList(L1 1000 26 0.6 ~26 2.55MP/lirtosiast
augment(L1,L1 10000 9.4 0.6 8.8 2.55MP/lirtosiast
augment(L1,{1 10000 7.7 0.6 7.1 2.55MP/lirtosiast
augment({1},L1 //dim=20 10000 7.7 0.6 7.1 2.55MP/lirtosiast
augment({1},{1 10000 6.0 0.6 5.4 2.55MP/lirtosiast
DeltaList(L1 //dim=20 1000 26 0.6 ~26 2.55MP/lirtosiast
Fill(1,L1 //dim=20 10000 3.9 0.6 3.3 2.55MP/lirtosiast

Below we can see that using the same variable for the seq( variable as the For( variable doesn't slow anything down. The value of the variable before seq( was called is restored in a constant amount of time.

Command Iterations Average (ms) Overhead (ms) Time (ms) Username
seq(1,n,1,20 //loop var n 1000 70 0.6 70 2.55MP/lirtosiast
seq(1,n,1,20 //loop var X 1000 71 1.1 70 2.55MP/lirtosiast
seq(1,X,1,20 //loop var n 1000 82 0.6 70 2.55MP/lirtosiast
seq(1,X,1,20 //loop var X 1000 83 1.1 70 2.55MP/lirtosiast

binomcdf(N-1,0 is often used to construct a list of a certain length N, but binompdf( can be slightly faster. The difference is about equal to the time for a call to cumSum(. When called with a second argument that is not 0 or 1, binompdf( slows down dramatically, by a factor of 60.
