What are some scenarios where you would choose one over the other when programming in AssemblyScript?
In my case I am trying to build a K-d tree from a list of tuples of floating point numbers. Because I need to rearrange and sort the incoming list of tuples, my first go-to is using
Array<Array<f64>>
since I can easily add and remove data from it.[
Your intuition is correct, the standard array is the most flexible.
In Assemblyscript there are three array types.
let a:f32[] = [0,1,2]
Resizable
Can hold references
The least performant
let a:StaticArray<f32> = [0,1,2]
Fixed size
Can hold references
Great performance
let a:Float32Array = new Float32Array(3)
Fixed size
Can hold numeric values only
Great performance
Buffer access for shared views etc
Note - it is not currently possible to initialize a typed array with values, ie
new Float32Array([0,1,2])
