C language vs Assembly (epic speedrun)

Write concise Assembly and enjoy the performance!

I feel tempted to send this to my C/C++ professor

[AlexdAviator]

imagine going to a job interview and tell them that the only language you can code in is assembly

[gameman]

1) you use struct in c for no reason at all, but not in asm
2) you allocate heap memory in c - also for no reason -, while you do not in asm
3) you don't check whether the allocation was successful
4) you don't free allocated heap memory
5) you use multiple methods in c, but not in asm
6) you only read the first byte (or char, but byte is more accurate) of the argument in asm, the same tests you ran in c would not work there
7) neither of them works for negative numbers
8) good luck running that asm code on other architectures
The C code could look like this (complies with whats mentioned above):
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
int i;
if(argc < 2 || sscanf(argv[1], "%d", &i) != 1)
fprintf(stderr, "error\n");
else
printf("%i\n", i + 1);
return 0;
}
//this code does not check for overflow on addition nor the validity of the input number

1:15 ah yes, my favourite programming language assmembler

The asm program doesn’t work with multiple digit numbers

[FlyingLlamaa]

Please do a Assembly vs MachineCode comparison next. Only true gods code in machinecode

[johnparrot]

In C you should use: ++*argv[1]; argv[1][1] = '\n'; just like in assembly, to obtain the same performance.
Edit: Well, i tested and i got 1 milisecond of difference. Actually nasm is faster lol

C'mon... The malloc'ed memory isn't being freed..

[mallikarjunj]

Use assembly language if you are paid hourly 🤝

[aaronsonnichsen]

My assembly propaganda ad blocker didnt on this one

[ebastiancarlo]

god bless the true witnesses of the one and only language, for we have seen the light. Praise the one that assembles, the one that abstracts the unabstractable, the one that increases the one

[tremon]

Bro you should have done a loop in the assembler to print more than the first character

[AgentProvocateur]

nice, zero-cost abstraction in asm, because there are no abstractions

[k_gold]

All fun and games till the number has more than one digits. Also that C program can increment numbers that are upwards of 1 million digits

[sanduchicu]

i love how he misspelled assembler at the end

[bunikido]

int main(int argc, char **argv){ printf("%d", atoi(argv[1]) + 1); } // Use C

[halfhalf]

I'll program in NASM when I find a tutorial for it.

[jesust]

Your abstractions cant cost if you dont have any 🐿️

[Drqonic]

I was hoping to see this video was uploaded on April Fools... I was a fool for thinking I'd be lucky. You sir, have 0 programming experience.

[duxoakende]

Yes I will make sure to use the assmembler
