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.

C basically abstracts assembler
nope

Want me to cite some of your previous posts
Sure, this should be interesting.  Good luck finding any.

assembler code ... outside the realm of standard C
Right, and my C code is outside the realm of standard Python.  What kind of retard consults the standard of the wrong language and whines that the language in question doesn't conform to it?
