It would introduce more objects, but another approach would be to use an associative array and look-up rather than "process" the return strings. ...trading more objects for fewer statements.
Has anyone compared these two techniques against each other?
Hi Buzz
I use this data driven approach in my design. I can't compare the two in this specific case but in general you use more memory in the data driven approach but execute faster... based on other project experience. The classic tradeoff.
I also believe that initial load of libraries and other code takes longer at activity startup.....but execution should be faster overall. I have no data to back this up in this specific case.
Hey maybe based on the spidermonkey (see referrence above) in the system it actually slows down the data-driven approach!!!!
Cheers
