As I can understand, in stateful contracts state is represented with key-value pairs and for storing a variable, the name of that variable would be the “key” and the pair would be stored in the state. This official example from developer docs shows this: int 0 byte "MyLocalKey" int 50 app_local_put…

@aybehrouz , While I can’t argue that it would be more efficient from runtime perspective, I do recognize that there are few advantages as well - TEAL code is cleaner and less ambiguous ( at least in my view ) The extra cost of storing maps compared to arrays is (hopefully!) not an issue. Most ap…

Thank you for your answer In terms of runtime gains, using arrays will decrease the execution time of TEAL scripts for sure. (just compare the cost of a map lookup to other TEAL opcodes) but I don’t know how much of block processing time is devoted to execution of TEAL scripts. If other operations …

@aybehrouz , I’m not sure if you concern here is about memory or storage, as these presents different challenges. In terms of memory ( RAM ) consumption, you’re correct that loading the entire set of keys into memory is inefficient; however, the account along with it’s application data is being lo…
