Elegance vs. Performance

So /prog/, what would you choose between these two snippets of C code...


int *arr[3];
arr[0] = 1;
arr[1] = 2;
arr[2] = 3;

or...


int i;
int *arr[3];
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++)
  arr[i] = i+1;

The second one is more elegant, but requires more operations.

You should relax more, this is just a textboard, your arse pain is showing, you can't even type correctly now, that's even worse than before. Although, perhaps it's normal to lose basic functionality when you're currently in a state of mental devastation after being publicly humiliated and destroyed by me, the superior male, not that you were functioning very well before that.

Dearest Salutations Bro,

My name is Mugabe Mbogo, cousin of recently deposed Prince Christopher Moot Mpoolo XVI. It is with a hearty and warm smile that I cheerfully inform you that you are posting on what is probably the most technically precise board on all of 4chan, and as such you have lost the argument hard by looking down on standards and declaring that you do not care.

Further, dearest and kind Bro, as you decided to pull out the "superior male" schtick, you will probably never be invited to any parties around here ever again. You should spend a very long time reconsidering your goals in life, as you have just exerted a significant amount of testosterone alienating the only people who are likely to give more than half a fuck.

Sincerely and wishing your family the best health,

Mugabe "Go the fuck back to /g/ you retarded knuckle-dragger" Mbogo.
