我想看看除法运算的常数,所以我运行了这段代码

import time

def di(n):
    n/101

i = 10
while i < 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000:
    start = time.clock()
    di(i)
    end = time.clock()
    print("On " + str(i) + " " + str(end-start))
    i *= 10000

这是我得到的输出

为什么通常以后的除法速度会比前两个最小的时间更快？

解决方法:

Why does the division generally get faster later on as opposed to the time of the first two terms which are the smallest?

实际上不是.如果我将di替换为：

def di(n):
    for i in range(10000000): n / 101

然后得到(我假设您正在使用的Python 3.5)：

如您所见,大约有两次：一次代表较小的数字,一次代表较大的数字.在Python 3.5中,/进行浮点除法,因此无论数字大小如何,它实际上应该花费相同的时间.

但是,从小到大都有差距.使用以下函数保留语义的Python 2.7也会发生相同的结果：

def di(n):
    for i in xrange(10000000): n / 101.0

在同一台计算机上,我得到：

这与将整数转换为浮点数有关(具体细节尚待确定).当整数超过某个点时,速度会变慢,并且当该点超过该点时,除法运算会花费更长的时间.
