Hi ElMaestro,

❝ Interestingly (at least to moi!), I tried out of curiosity to do this:

❝

❝ QWERTY=function(x)


❝ {


❝  ifelse ((x==0), "foo", "bar")


❝ }

❝

❝ The benchmark for this version is much, much slower than any of the other proposals (at least on my system).

On any system.

❝ Another example that shows that condensing code towards fewer keystrokes is not always fastest. I wonder what goes on internally since this is much slower?

Use ifelse() for vectorized conditions. See this thread.

Try this:
library(microbenchmark)
fun1 <- function(x, cond, print=FALSE) {
  if (x == cond) {
    "foo"
    if (print) cat("foo\n")
  } else {
    "bar"
     if (print) cat("foo\n")
 }
}
fun2 <- function(x, cond, print=FALSE) {
  if (x == cond) {
    if (print) cat("foo\n")
    return("foo")
  } else {
    if (print) cat("bar\n")
    return("bar")
  }
}
fun3 <- function(x, cond, print=FALSE) {
  if (x == cond) {
    res <- "foo"
  } else {
    res <- "bar"
  }
  if (print) cat(res, "\n")
  return(res)
}
fun4 <- function(x, cond, print=FALSE) {
  ifelse (x == cond, "foo", "bar")
}
fun5 <- function(x, cond, print=FALSE) {
  ifelse ((x == cond), res <- "foo", res <- "bar")
  if (print) cat(res, "\n")
  return(res)
}
fun6 <- function(x, cond, print=FALSE) {
  ifelse (x == cond, res <- "foo", res <- "bar")
  if (print) cat(res, "\n")
  return(res)
}
res1 <- microbenchmark(fun1(round(runif(1, 0, 1), 0), 0),
                       fun2(round(runif(1, 0, 1), 0), 0),
                       fun3(round(runif(1, 0, 1), 0), 0),
                       fun4(round(runif(1, 0, 1), 0), 0),
                       fun5(round(runif(1, 0, 1), 0), 0),
                       fun6(round(runif(1, 0, 1), 0), 0),
                       times=1000L)
res2 <- microbenchmark(fun1(round(c(runif(1, 0, 1), runif(1, 1, 2)), 0),
                            c(1, 2)),
                       fun2(round(c(runif(1, 0, 1), runif(1, 1, 2)), 0),
                            c(1, 2)),
                       fun3(round(c(runif(1, 0, 1), runif(1, 1, 2)), 0),
                            c(1, 2)),
                       fun4(round(c(runif(1, 0, 1), runif(1, 1, 2)), 0),
                            c(1, 2)),
                       fun5(round(c(runif(1, 0, 1), runif(1, 1, 2)), 0),
                            c(1, 2)),
                       fun6(round(c(runif(1, 0, 1), runif(1, 1, 2)), 0),
                            c(1, 2)),
                       times=1000L)
print(res1)
print(res2)
Shortended output of res1 and res2:
  expr  median cld
fun1()   2.415   a
fun2()   2.415   a
fun3()   2.416   a
fun4()   3.623   a
fun5()   3.624   a
fun6()   3.624   a

  expr  median cld
fun1() 54.0350   b
fun2() 53.7340   b
fun3() 54.0360   b
fun4() 12.2265  a 
fun5() 12.6800  a 
fun6() 12.3780  a 
There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50)
Hey, were are the warnings coming from? Try fun1() to fun3() with a vector-condition and print=TRUE.
