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 were, and probably still are, confused about how assembler gets "abstracted".

"Believe me when I say that I'm wholly unconcerned with what you believe. Don't you get it? I simply don't care. You don't matter to me, you don't matter to anyone, nobody gives two shits about you."

Maybe. But unlike you, I actually do this kind of shit for a living.
