I've got an array with about 250 entries in it, each their own array of values. Each entry is a point on a map, and each array holds info for:
name,
another array for points this point can connect to,
latitude,
longitude,
short for of name,
a boolean,
and another boolean
The array has been written by another developer in my team, and he has written it as such:
names[0]=new Array;
names[0][0]="Campus Ice Centre";
names[0][1]= new Array(0,1,2);
names[0][2]=43.95081811364498;
names[0][3]=-78.89848709106445;
names[0][4]="CIC";
names[0][5]=false;
names[0][6]=false;
names[1]=new Array;
names[1][0]="Shagwell's";
names[1][1]= new Array(0,1);
names[1][2]=43.95090307839151;
names[1][3]=-78.89815986156464;
names[1][4]="shg";
names[1][5]=false;
names[1][6]=false;
Where I would probably have personally written it like this:
var names = []
names[0] = new Array("Campus Ice Centre", new Array[0,1,2], 43.95081811364498, -78.89848709106445, "CIC", false, false);
names[1] = new Array("Shagwell's", new Array[0,1], 43.95090307839151, -78.89815986156464, 'shg", false, false);
They both work perfectly fine of course, but what I'm wondering is:
1) does one take longer than the other to actually process?
2) am I incorrect in assuming there is a benefit to the compactness of my version of the same thing?
I'm just a little worried about his 3000 lines of code versus my 3-400 to get the same result.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
