Think about performance
uHave
some sense about how quickly the code needs to execute and return the desired information.
ØUnderstanding what constitutes acceptable performance in
a given situation is very
important.
uKnow
how often a given programming routine will be run.
ØSome
routines may be used only once
§Ex.
Data migration routines– performance not critical
ØSome
routines may be accessed millions of times per day
§Ex. Low-level translations changing system time into
local time around the world -
performance critical
uDon’t
discard routines without thinking.
ØYou may often need to run the same or similar routine to
one you wrote a few months
ago.
