sort()和binarysearch()与整数/字符串的性能比较

最初我想问一下对整数排序是否比字符串更快。 但我自己也回答了这个问题,我对这一巨大的差异感到惊讶。 为什么排序和binarysearch整数比字符串更快?

(vb.net)使用1.000.000 int32/字符串的测试:

Private Function CheckIntBinarySearch() As TimeSpan
    Dim watch As New System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch()
    Dim rnd As New Random(Date.Now.Millisecond)
    Dim intCol1 As New List(Of Int32)
    Dim intCol2 As New List(Of Int32)
    Dim contains As Int32
    For i As Int32 = 1 To 1000000
        intCol1.Add(rnd.Next(1, 1000000))
    Next
    For i As Int32 = 1 To 1000000
        intCol2.Add(rnd.Next(1, 1000000))
    Next
    Me.output.WriteLine("Integers sorting ...")
    watch.Start()
    intCol1.Sort()
    watch.Stop()
    Me.output.WriteLine("Sorting finished: " & watch.Elapsed.TotalSeconds & " seconds elapsed.")

    Me.output.WriteLine("Integers BinarySearch ...")
    watch.Start()
    For Each Val As Int32 In intCol2
        If intCol1.BinarySearch(Val) > -1 Then contains += 1
    Next
    watch.Stop()
    Me.output.WriteLine("BinarySearch finished(contains " & contains & "): " & watch.Elapsed.TotalSeconds & " seconds elapsed.")
    Return watch.Elapsed
End Function

Private Function CheckStringBinarySearch() As TimeSpan
    Dim watch As New System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch()
    Dim rnd As New Random(Date.Now.Millisecond)
    Dim stringCol1 As New List(Of String)
    Dim stringCol2 As New List(Of String)
    Dim contains As Int32
    For i As Int32 = 1 To 1000000
        stringCol1.Add(rnd.Next(1, 1000000).ToString)
    Next
    For i As Int32 = 1 To 1000000
        stringCol2.Add(rnd.Next(1, 1000000).ToString)
    Next
    Me.output.WriteLine("Strings sorting ...")
    watch.Start()
    stringCol1.Sort()
    watch.Stop()
    Me.output.WriteLine("Sorting finished: " & watch.Elapsed.TotalSeconds & " seconds elapsed.")
    Me.output.WriteLine("Strings BinarySearch ...")
    watch.Start()
    For Each Val As String In stringCol2
        If stringCol1.BinarySearch(Val) > -1 Then contains += 1
    Next
    watch.Stop()
    Me.output.WriteLine("BinarySearch finished(contains " & contains & "): " & watch.Elapsed.TotalSeconds & " seconds elapsed.")
    Return watch.Elapsed
End Function

检查性能5次:

For i As Int32 = 1 To 5
   intChecks.Add(CheckIntBinarySearch())
Next
For i As Int32 = 1 To 5
   stringChecks.Add(CheckStringBinarySearch())
Next

输出:

• Int32 排序平均值: 022948982 秒
• String 排序平均值: 六亿六千三百四十九万四千九百四十二 秒
• 英特32 BinarySearch平均值: 090807858 秒
• 弦 BinarySearch平均值: 十三亿零九百九十二万九千七百七十二 秒

结论:

• 排序整数是 二十九 比排序字符串快一倍
• BinarySearch整数是 14、4 比binarysearch字符串快一倍

为什么? 考虑拥有大量的“字符串整数”集合(“1”、“2”、“3”、…)。在排序和搜索之前将它们解析为整数更好吗?将字符串解析为整数的成本是多少?好吧,我想这是另一个问题。
