Impact of implicit arrays...

Show all headers | View raw

I created a little complex number library for some new 
fractal encryption techniques I am going to put online. 
I am a bit worried about all of the arrays I am using in 
the following code:
______________________________ 
"use strict";

function ct_complex_add(c0, c1)
{
    return [c0[0] + c1[0], c0[1] + c1[1]];
}

function ct_complex_sub(c0, c1) {
    return [c0[0] - c1[0], c0[1] - c1[1]];
}

function ct_complex_abs(c)
{
    return Math.sqrt(c[0] * c[0] + c[1] * c[1]);
}

function ct_complex_mul(c0, c1)
{
    return [c0[0] * c1[0] - c0[1] * c1[1],
            c0[0] * c1[1] + c0[1] * c1[0]];
}

function ct_complex_mul_real(c0, c)
{
    return [c0[0] * c, c0[1] * c];
}

function ct_complex_pow(c, p)
{
    var l = ct_complex_abs(c);
    var s = Math.pow(l, p);
    var a = Math.atan2(c[1], c[0]) * p;

    return [Math.cos(a) * s, Math.sin(a) * s];
}

function ct_complex_roots(c, p)
{
    var l = ct_complex_abs(c);
    var s = Math.pow(l, 1.0 / p);
    var a = Math.atan2(c[1], c[0]) / p;

    var n = Math.ceil(Math.abs(p));
    var as = (Math.PI * 2) / p;
    var roots = [];

    for (var i = 0; i < n; ++i)
    {
        roots.push([Math.cos(a + as * i) * s,
                    Math.sin(a + as * i) * s]);
    }

    return roots;
}
______________________________ 


If I call any of the functions above in a large 
iteration, will memory start to explode and stress 
out the garbage collector? I mean will there be 
millions of arrays that are allocated during heavy 
load? This is purely functional implementation. Can 
an intrusive technique give better performance? 

Thank you.
