CPP

Hi,

is it a good practice to write this #def in cpp?

#define print(X) std::cout<<X<<std::endl

so that it can be used as:

print("what " << "ever" << " I " << "want");

btw.. how do I insert sniplet of code here?

btw:

printf:0.019151s cout:0.01957s

with this program:



#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>

int main (int argc, char * const argv[]) {
    clock_t cstart,cend,cppstart,cppend;
   
    cstart = clock();
    for (int i =0; i < 10000; ++i) {
        printf("Hello World\n");
    }
    cend = clock();
    double diff_c = cend/(float)CLOCKS_PER_SEC - cstart/(float)CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
   
    cppstart = clock();
    for (int i = 0; i<10000; ++i) {
        std::cout<<"Hello World\n";
    }
    cppend = clock();
   
    double diff_cpp = cppend/(float)CLOCKS_PER_SEC - cppstart/(float)CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
   
    std::cout<< "c:" << diff_c << "cpp:" << diff_cpp<< std::endl;
    std::cout<< std::endl;
    return 0;
}
