i have a list of users, with minions, something like this:
User52:
minion10
minion12
User32:
minion13
minion11
i've been keeping in an array where the "location" is the id, like this:
Users:
[52]User
minions:
[10]minion
[12]minion
[32]User
minions:
[13]minion
[11]minion
so i can access them easily like this: user[UserID].minions[MinionID] (ex: user[32].minions[11])
but when i print it or send it by json i get something like this:
{,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,minion,,,,,,,,,,,,,,minion}
but should i keep using like this or should i change to something like this:
User = function(){
this.minions = ...;
this.getMinion = function(value){
for(var m in this.minions){
if(this.minions[m].id == value){
return this.minions[m];
break;
}
}
}
}
and get it like this:
user.getMinion(MinionID);
Question: i get better performance using a "short" array but using loops every time i need a minion, or using "long" arrays, but no need for loop and getting values directly from the id "name"?
