在c# / VB.NET/。哪个循环运行得更快,for还是foreach?

自从很久以前我读到for循环比foreach循环工作得快,我就认为它适用于所有集合、泛型集合、所有数组等。

我搜索了谷歌,找到了几篇文章,但大多数都是不确定的(阅读文章评论),而且是开放式的。

理想的情况是列出每种情况以及最佳解决方案。

例如(这只是一个例子):

用于迭代1000+的数组 字符串- for比foreach好 对于迭代IList(非泛型)字符串- foreach更好 比

在网上找到了一些相同的参考资料:

除了可读性之外,我对事实和数据真的很感兴趣。在某些应用中,最后一英里的性能优化确实很重要。

“有没有什么论据可以帮助我说服他使用for循环是可以接受的?”

不,如果你的老板事无巨细地告诉你应该使用哪种编程语言结构,你就真的没什么可说的了。对不起。

Jeffrey Richter在techhed 2005上说:

"I have come to learn over the years the C# compiler is basically a liar to me." .. "It lies about many things." .. "Like when you do a foreach loop..." .. "...that is one little line of code that you write, but what the C# compiler spits out in order to do that it's phenomenal. It puts out a try/finally block in there, inside the finally block it casts your variable to an IDisposable interface, and if the cast suceeds it calls the Dispose method on it, inside the loop it calls the Current property and the MoveNext method repeatedly inside the loop, objects are being created underneath the covers. A lot of people use foreach because it's very easy coding, very easy to do.." .. "foreach is not very good in terms of performance, if you iterated over a collection instead by using square bracket notation, just doing index, that's just much faster, and it doesn't create any objects on the heap..."

我之前测试过,结果是for循环比foreach循环快得多。原因很简单,foreach循环首先需要为集合实例化一个IEnumerator。

两者之间不太可能有巨大的性能差异。与往常一样,当面对“哪个更快?”的问题时,您应该始终认为“我可以测量这个”。

在循环体中编写两个做相同事情的循环,执行并计时,并查看速度的差异。使用一个几乎为空的主体和一个与您实际要做的类似的循环主体来执行此操作。还可以尝试使用您正在使用的集合类型,因为不同类型的集合可能具有不同的性能特征。

这可能取决于您枚举的集合类型及其索引器的实现。一般来说,使用foreach可能是一种更好的方法。

而且,它可以与任何IEnumerable一起工作,而不仅仅是与索引器一起工作。
