I'm trying to make my code faster to run. In literature, one of technique is preallocating arrays used in the code.
Let's suppose we have a 1000x1000 matrix to pre-allocate before a while loop. It is known that sparse form save memory, but save also time?
Which of the following two options is better?
%First way
A = zeros(1000);
%Second way
A = sparse(1000);

In general adding new data to sparse arrays is slow. Rather than preallocating the entire sparse array the usual efficient approach is to build up vectors of the indices and the data in the loop and after the loop convert them to sparse.
Your array is not very large I doubt that there is much point in defining it as sparse anyway.
