[Solved] whats better for efficiency

[deathismyfriend]

i have a couple of efficiency related questions.

1.
whats better to do modulo integer or subtring. ( note: these will be in a loop up from 0 to 7 )

2.
i have a couple of minigames. in them i usea periodic trigger to do some actions. i simply turn the trigger on when minigame starts. i was wondering if its better to use periodic triggers or to use repeating timers ? i think timers would be more efficient right ? also which is more accurate ?

1. Do ModuloInteger.
In fact, inline it.
ModuloInteger(x, y)
->
x - x/y*y

2. Repeating timers are more efficient.
When it comes to accuracy, they're both about the same.
These timers have awesome resolutions. You can go as low as a tenth of a millisecond.

edit
Since it seems you're using GUI (Because you called them "repeating" timers), then for 1, I'd scratch that.
It's not easy to tell which is more efficient. SubString will cause string leaks, so in either case, go for ModuloInteger.

i only use jass / vjass lol

i just call them repeating timers cause they repeat

thx for the answers + rep
