Efficiency

Question

when looking for efficiency should I always try and program in low level languages such as C? and in that case would assembly be the pinnacle of efficiency?

Answer 2

Just would like to balance out Hatsy's post with this one. There are times when asm code is faster than C.

Answer 3

wait up...
first of all
c is a HLL or High Level Language...
and no efficiency increases or decreses for high or low or assembly level languages...
according to better understanding they r named like that...

Answer 4

So making a program in python3 per se, is not more or less efficient than making the exact same one in C?

Answer 5

no....
efficiency measurement is not comparable if language changes....
( coding effieciency )
yes u can say that java or cpp are faster than python...
but python is wayy more readable and more logical in syntax...

Answer 6

two type of efficiency....
one is that language that is easy to get easy to write
( language comparison)

second is...
compiling efficiency...according to ur code...
this efficiency is only comparable in a single language with diff codes...that which is more efficient...

Answer 7

in a particular language when u r writing codes u can surely trigger the efficiency up.
