I was interested in how this compares in a kind of absolute sense. For comparison, an optimized C hello world program gave these results using `perf` on my Dell XPS 13 laptop:
0.000636230 seconds time elapsed
0.000759000 seconds user
0.000000000 seconds sys
That's 36,800% faster. Hand-written assembly was very slightly slower. Using the standard library for output instead of a syscall brought it down to 20,900% faster.
(Yes I used percentages to underscore how big the difference is. It's 368x and 209x respectively. That's huge.)
Begrudgingly, here are the standard Python numbers:
real 0m0.019s
user 0m0.015s
sys 0m0.004s
About 1230% faster than the sandbox, i.e. 12.3x. About an order of magnitude, which is typical for these kinds of exercises.
much better than calling deno, at least if you have no pip dependencies...
just had to update to new api:
# store.add_fuel(fuel) store.set_fuel(fuel) fuel_consumed=fuel-store.get_fuel()
and it works!!
