[Golang] Test Performance Function Standard - 1

Comparing performance

return error

• create file return.go

func newErr() error {
    return errors.new("this is error")
}
func fmtErr() error {
    return fmt.Errorf("this is error")
}

• create file return_test.go

func BenchmarkNewErr(b *testing.B) {
    for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
        newErr()
    }
}

func BenchmarkFmtErr(b *testing.B) {
    for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
        fmtErr()
    }
}

• run:

go test -bench=. -count=5

• Output:

-> errors.New() faster fmt.Errorf()

Convert Int to String

• create file convert.go

  func MethodInt(i int) string {
      return strconv.FormatInt(int64(i), 10)
  }
  func MethodItoa(i int) string {
      return strconv.Itoa(i)
  }
  func MethodFmt(i int) string {
      return fmt.Sprintf("%d", i)
  }
  

• create file convert_test.go, copy all below code.

  func BenchmarkFmt(b *testing.B) {
      // TODO: Initialize
      number := 10
      for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
          // TODO: Your Code Here
          MethodFmt(number)
      }
  }
  
  func BenchmarkMethodInt(b *testing.B) {
      // TODO: Initialize
      number := 10
      for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
          // TODO: Your Code Here
          MethodInt(number)
      }
  }
  func BenchmarkMethodItoa(b *testing.B) {
      // TODO: Initialize
      number := 10
      for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
          // TODO: Your Code Here
          MethodItoa(number)
      }
  }
