== Introduction ==

This article will try to be a general guide about improving your code '''and''' its performance.

== Rules ==
|-
In the domain of development, any rule is a rule of thumb. If a rule states for example that it is ''better'' that a line of code doesn't go over 80 characters, it doesn't mean that any line '''''must not''''' go over 80 characters; sometimes, the situation needs it. If you have a good structure, '''do not''' change your code to enforce a single arbitrary rule. If you break many of them, you may have to change something. Again, this is according to your judgement.<br />

With that being said, here are the three basic rules to get yourself in the clear:

=== Make it work ===
|-
Your first goal when coding is to make your code do what you want it does. A good way to reach this objective is to read and getting inspired by other people's code. If you understand it by reading it once, it is probably a good source of inspiration.<br />
| Object Init Event Handlers are called
When starting from scratch if you know what you want but miss the specific steps to get to your point, it is a good practice to write down in your native language what you want to do. E.g ''Get all the units near the city, and [[forEach|for each]] west soldier in them, add damage''.

Whether you are cleaning your code or a different person's, you must understand the code without twisting your brain:

* While [[SQF syntax|SQF]] ''is'' impacted by variable name length, this should not take precedence on the fact that code must be readable by a human being. Variables like '''_u''' instead of '''_uniform''' should not be present.
|-
* ''One-lining'' (putting everything in one statement) memory improvement is not worth the headache it gives when trying to read it. Don't overuse it.
| Object initialisation fields are called
* Indentation is important for the human mind, and space is too. Space is free, use it.
| [[Scheduler#Unscheduled Environment|Unscheduled]]
* Do you see the same code, but with different parameters? Time to write a function.
| 5 <!-- Single Player -->
* Is your function code far too long? Split it in understandable-sized bites, for your own sanity.
| 5 <!-- Dedicated Server -->
* Finally, camel-casing (namingLikeThis) your variables and commands will naturally make the code more readable, especially for long names.

See the following code:

<code style="clear: right;">_w=[];{_w pushbackunique primaryweapon _x}foreach((allunits+alldeadmen)select{_x call bis_fnc_objectside==east});</code>

| [[Scheduler#Scheduled Environment|Scheduled]]<ref name="enginewaits">Note '''in single player''' that while the environment is [[Scheduler#Scheduled Environment|Scheduled]] ([[canSuspend]] returns true), the engine seems to wait until the script is done executing, essentially behaving similarly to an [[Scheduler#Unscheduled Environment|Unscheduled environment]] - infinite loops will freeze the game, [[uiSleep]] may pause the game for up to ~20s (postInit), [[waitUntil]] can cause catastrophic issues, etc.</ref>
| <!-- Single Player -->
| <!-- Dedicated Server -->
| <!-- Hosted Server -->

The same example is far more readable with proper spacing, good variable names and intermediate results:

<code>_weaponNames = [];
| Expressions of [[Eden Editor: Configuring Attributes|Eden Editor scenario attributes]] are called<ref name="playerCommandNotAvailable">[[player]] is not available immediately.</ref>
_allUnitsAliveAndDead = allUnits + allDeadMen;
| [[Scheduler#Unscheduled Environment|Unscheduled]]
_allEastAliveAndDead = _allUnitsAliveAndDead select { _x call BIS_fnc_objectSide == east };

| [[Scheduler#Scheduled Environment|Scheduled]]
| <!-- Single Player -->
| {{n/a}} <!-- Dedicated Server -->
| <!-- Hosted Server -->
| <!-- Multiplayer Client -->
| <!-- JIP MP Client -->


=== Successive condition check ===
|- style="background-color: #DEF0AD"
In [[SQF syntax|SQF]] the following code will check '''all and every''' condition, even if one fail:
| [[Event Scripts#initPlayerServer.sqf|initPlayerServer.sqf]] is executed on the server
[[if]] (condition1 && condition2 && condition3) [[then]] { {{codecomment|/* thenCode */}} };
| [[Scheduler#Scheduled Environment|Scheduled]]
e.g:
| <!-- Single Player -->
[[if]] ([[alive]] unit1 && [[not]] [[alive]] aPvehicle && [[daytime]] > 5) [[then]] { {{codecomment|/* thenCode */}} };
| {{n/a}} <!-- Dedicated Server -->
This code will check if {{Inline code|unit1}} is alive, and if it is not {{Inline code|[[not]] [[alive]] aPvehicle && [[daytime]] > 5}} will execute anyway.
| ?? <!-- Hosted Server -->
To avoid this behaviour, you can either imbricate [[if|ifs]] or use '''lazy evaluation''' such as the following:
| <!-- Multiplayer Client -->
[[if]] ([[alive]] unit1 && { [[not]] [[alive]] aPvehicle } && {{ [[daytime]] > 5}}) [[then]] { {{codecomment|/* thenCode */}} };
| <!-- JIP MP Client -->
This lazy evaluation will stop code execution on the first [[false]] statement.


Using lazy evaluation is not always the best way as it could speed up the code as well as slow it down, depending on the current condition being evaluated:

[false || &nbsp;{false} || {false}&nbsp;] call BIS_fnc_codePerformance; {{codecomment|// slowest}}

| <!-- Hosted Server -->
| <!-- Multiplayer Client -->
| <!-- JIP MP Client -->


==== Adding large strings together ====
|- style="background-color: #95DEF0"
{{Inline code|a {{=}} a + b}} works fine for small strings, however the bigger the string gets the slower this becomes:
| [[Event Scripts#init.sqf|init.sqf]] is executed
s = ""; [[for]] "_i" [[from]] 1 [[to]] 10000 [[do]] {s = s + "123"}; {{codecomment|// 30000 chars @ 290ms}}
| [[Scheduler#Scheduled Environment|Scheduled]]
| <!-- Single Player -->
| <!-- Dedicated Server -->
| <!-- Hosted Server -->
| <!-- Multiplayer Client -->
| <!-- JIP MP Client -->


The solution is to use a string array that you will concatenate later:
|-
strings = []; [[for]] "_i" [[from]] 1 [[to]] 10000 [[do]] {strings [[pushBack]] "123"}; strings = strings [[joinString]] ""; {{codecomment|// 30000 chars @ 30ms}}

| {{n/a}} <!-- Hosted Server -->
| {{n/a}} <!-- Multiplayer Client -->

=== if ===
|}
Both {{Inline code|[[if]] (condition) [[then]] { {{codecomment|/* thenCode */}} } [[else]] { {{codecomment|/* elseCode */}} }; }}
and {{Inline code|[[if]] (condition) [[then]] [{ {{codecomment|/* thenCode */}} }, { {{codecomment|/* elseCode */}} }]; }}
have the same performance.


=== for ===
Use:
[[for]] "_i" [[from]] 0 [[to]] 100 [[do]] { {{codecomment|/* forCode */}} }; {{codecomment|// faster}}
Instead of:
[[for]] [{_i = 0}, {_i < 100}, {_i = _i + 1}] [[do]] { {{codecomment|/* forCode */}} }; {{codecomment|// slower}}


=== forEach vs count ===
== See Also ==
Both commands will step through supplied array of elements one by one and both commands will contain reference to current element in the [[_x]] variable.
However, [[count]] loop is a little faster than [[forEach]] loop, but it does not have [[_forEachIndex]] variable.<br />
Also, there is a limitation as the code inside [[count]] expects [[Boolean]] or [[Nothing]] while itself returns [[Number]].


<code>{[[diag_log]] _x} [[count]] [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]; {{codecomment|// faster}}</code>
* [[Arma 3: Functions Library]]<!--
<code>{[[diag_log]] _x} [[forEach]] [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]; {{codecomment|// slower}}</code>
* [[Arma 2: Functions Library]] -->
 
* [[Arma 3: Remote Execution]], [[BIS_fnc_MP]] <!-- keep? -->
Usage:
* [[Eden Editor: Configuring Attributes|Eden Editor: Configuring Attributes]]
<code>_someoneIsNear = {_x [[distance]] [0,0,0] < 1000} [[count]] [[allUnits]] > 0;</code>
* [[Event Scripts]]
_someoneIsNear = {
* [[Scheduler]]
[[if]] ([[_x]] [[distance]] [0,0,0] < 1000) [[exitWith]] { [[true]] };
[[false]]
} [[forEach]] [[allUnits]];
''TODO: findIf?''
 
 
 
=== + and format ===
When concatenating more than two strings, [[format]] is faster than [[valuea_plus_valueb|+]]. Use:
[[format]] ["%1%2%3%4%5", "string1", "string2", "string3", "string4", "string5"]; {{codecomment|// faster}}
Instead of:
"string1" + "string2" + "string3" + "string4" + "string5"; {{codecomment|// slower}}
 
=== select and if ===
Use:
result = ["false result", "true result"] [[select]] _condition; {{codecomment|// faster}}
Instead of the lazy-evaluated [[if]]:
result = [[if]] (_condition) [[then]] { "true result"; } [[else]] { "false result"; }; {{codecomment|// slower}}
 
=== private ===
Use:
private _a = 1;
private _b = 2;
private _c = 3;
private _d = 4;
{{codecomment|// 0.0023 ms}}
 
Instead of:
private ["_a", "_b", "_c", "_d"];
_a = 1;
_b = 2;
_c = 3;
_d = 4;
{{codecomment|// 0.0040 ms}}
 
However:
[[for]] "_i" from 1 to 100 do
{
private _a = 1; private _b = 2; private _c = 3; private _d = 4;
};
{{codecomment|// 0.186776 ms}}
 
is slower than:
private ["_a", "_b", "_c", "_d"];
for "_i" from 1 to 100 do
{
_a = 1;
_b = 2;
_c = 3;
_d = 4;
};
{{codecomment|// 0.146327 ms}}
The reason behind this is that in the first example variables are created, assigned and deleted in each loop.<br />
In the second example the variables are only created/deleted once and changed often.
 
=== objectParent and vehicle ===
<code>isNull objectParent player {{codecomment|// 0.0013 ms, slightly faster}}</code>
<code>vehicle player == player {{codecomment|// 0.0022 ms}}</code>
 
=== nearEntities and nearestObjects ===
* [[nearEntities]] is much faster than [[nearestObjects]] given on range and amount of object(s) which are within the given range.
If a range was set to more thean 100 meters it is highly recommend to use [[nearEntities]] instead of [[nearestObjects]].
 
Note: [[nearEntities]] only searches for objects which are alive.
Killed units, destroyed vehicles, static objects and buildings will be ignored by the [[nearEntities]] command.
 
=== Config path delimiter ===
{{Inline code|>>}} is slightly faster than {{Inline code|/}} when used in config path with [[configFile]] or [[missionConfigFile]]:
[[configFile]] >> "CfgVehicles" {{codecomment|// 0.0019 ms}}
is (very slighlty) faster than
[[configFile]] / "CfgVehicles" {{codecomment|// 0.0023 ms}}
 
=== getPos* and setPos* ===
 
 
[[getPosWorld]] {{codecomment|// 0.0015 ms}}
[[getPosASL]] {{codecomment|// 0.0016 ms}}
[[getPosATL]] {{codecomment|// 0.0016 ms}}
[[getPos]] {{codecomment|// 0.0020 ms}}
[[position]] {{codecomment|// 0.0020 ms}}
[[getPosVisual]] {{codecomment|// 0.0021 ms}}
[[visiblePosition]] {{codecomment|// 0.0021 ms}}
[[getPosASLW]] {{codecomment|// 0.0023 ms}}
 
[[setPosWorld]] {{codecomment|// 0.0060 ms}}
[[setPosASL]] {{codecomment|// 0.0060 ms}}
[[setPosATL]] {{codecomment|// 0.0060 ms}}
[[setPos]] {{codecomment|// 0.0063 ms}}

[[setVehiclePosition]] {{codecomment|// 0.0077 ms "CAN_COLLIDE"}}
{{codecomment|// 0.0390 ms "NONE"}}
 
 
== Conversion from earlier versions ==
Each iteration of Bohemia games ({{ofp}}, {{arma}}, {{arma2}}, {{tkoh}}, {{arma3}}) brought their own new commands, especially {{arma2}} and {{arma3}}.<br />
For that, if you are converting scripts from older versions of the engine, some aspects should be reviewed:
 
=== Loops ===
* [[forEach]] loops, depending on the situation, can be replaced by:
** [[apply]]
** [[count]]
** [[findIf]]
** [[select]]
 
=== Array operations ===
* '''Adding an item:''' {{Inline code|myArray [[valuea_plus_valueb|+]] [element]}} and {{Inline code|myArray [[set]] <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[count]] myArray, element]}} have been replaced by [[pushBack]]
* '''Selecting a random item:''' [[BIS_fnc_selectRandom]] has been replaced by [[selectRandom]]
* '''Removing items:''' {{Inline code|myArray [[set]] [1, objNull]; myArray [[a_-_b|-]] [objNull]}} has been replaced by [[deleteAt]] and [[deleteRange]]
* '''Concatenating:''' {{Inline code|myArray {{=}} myArray [[valuea_plus_valueb|+]] [element]}} has been ''reinforced'' by [[append]]: if you don't need the original array to be modified, use +
* '''Comparing:''' use [[isEqualTo]] instead of [[BIS_fnc_areEqual]] or a custom comparison function
** {{Inline code|[[count]] myArray {{=}}{{=}} 0}} is pretty fast, but direct comparison with [[isEqualTo]] is still a little faster: {{Inline code|myArray [[isEqualTo]] []}}
* '''Finding common items:''' [[in]] [[forEach]] loop has been replaced by [[arrayIntersect]]
* '''Condition filtering:''' [[forEach]] can be replaced by [[select]] (alternative syntax)
<code>result = [];
{
[[if]] (_x % 2 == 0) [[then]]
{
result [[pushBack]] [[_x]];
};
} [[forEach]] arrayOfNumbers; {{codecomment|// 2.57 ms}}</code>
result = (arrayOfNumbers [[select]] { _x % 2 == 0 }); {{codecomment|// 1.55 ms}}
 
=== String operations ===
[[String]] manipulation has been simplified with the following commands:
* string [[select]] index
* [[toArray]] and [[toString]] have been reinforced with [[splitString]] and [[joinString]]
 
=== Multiplayer ===
* [[BIS_fnc_MP]] has been replaced by [[remoteExec]] and [[remoteExecCall]]
