Monitoring performance and resource usage

To write high quality applications, we need to be able to monitor the speed and efficiency of our code.

Evaluating the efficiency of types

What is the best type to use for a scenario? To answer this question, we need to carefully consider what we mean by best. We should consider the following factors:

  • Functionality: This can be decided by checking whether the type provides the features you need
  • Memory size: This can be decided by the number of bytes of memory the type takes up
  • Performance: This can be decided by how fast the type is
  • Future needs: This depends on the changes in requirements and maintainability

There will be scenarios, such as storing numbers, where multiple types have the same functionality, so ...
