Sci. classes I was asked to use a supplied Linked List to create a Concordance from standard input (in C I might add). The problem wasn’t necessarily hard, in fact, it was simple enough some friends and I realized it was a great Ruby one-liner candidate; Sure enough this was the result after no more than a minute of jabbering:

hash = Hash.new(0); str.split.each { |m| hash[m] += 1}

Well thats all fine and dandy… A plain old Ruby one-liner. My friend Stef, however, suggested this close alternative:

hash = Hash.new(0); str.scan(/\w+/m) { |m| hash[m] += 1}

Whats different? Well Stef’s code uses a regex scan of a “m”ultiline string, then adds 1 to each match in the hash. His regex takes series of 1 or more “\w”ord characters to be a match. Whereas my code uses Ruby’s built-in “split” method to split on whitespace, then iterate over the resultant array.

This is how split works:

str = "My name is Ryan."
str.split #=> ["My","name","is","Ryan."]

For simple strings, like “My name is Ryan.”, Stef’s regex scan works almost identically. For this example we will ignore the fact that “\w” won’t match things like ‘-’, its not really that important at the moment.

As any good Computer Scientists our divergence of methods lead to a great argument… Which one was better? From my point of view, “split.each” is much more readable, clearly (without a regex) splits on whitespace, and is nearly as terse as the regex equivalent. From Stef’s point of view he A) didn’t have to use “each” and B) had more control over the split. We agreed to disagree, clearly each works best in different situations. Split is best for a simple split, but Scan is far more versatile.

Having put semantics aside we began wrestling over which one would be faster. We threw together this “Benchmark” script:

require 'benchmark'

str = "1 2 3 4-5 6 7 8-9"
Benchmark.bm do |bm|
bm.report("split: ") {10000.times do hash = Hash.new(0); str.split.each { |m| hash[m] += 1}; end  }
bm.report("scan: (\\w+) ") { 10000.times do hash = Hash.new(0); str.scan(/\w+/m) { |m| hash[m] = 1} end  }
bm.report("scan: (\w+(-\w+)?) ") { 10000.times do hash = Hash.new(0); str.scan(/(\w+(-\w+)?)/m) { |m| hash[m] += 1} end  }
end

Here’s the result of those benchmarks on various Ruby versions:

I will be repurposing the blog as a more code/personal-centric blog (it is, THE, hammer of code). If your GSoC RSS keeps nagging you with my annoying posts give me a shout telling me where I’m getting to you from; I’ll remove myself from that feed aggregator.

As for me, I’ve come upon a new stage of my “developership” – I’ve been learning Ruby, Rails, CSS, HTML, and a bit of Javascript. (in addition to all the languages I’ve been learning in school: FP, C, Lisp and Prolog at present). As much as I didn’t expect I’ve been exhilarated by web development these last few weeks. I’ve been spending more and more time with my two good friends Burke and Stef over at Chromium 53; both of whom attend the University of Manitoba with me. They’ve been doing big things, and it has gotten me excited. I’m currently playing catch up with Ruby and Rails in hopes of working with those two fine gentlemen (and the way things are going they will need a few helping hands ;) ).

Stay tuned as I may start posting little snips and pieces of code I write or find interesting.
