Windows Enums and lists vs variables. What is faster?

[JaimitoEs]

Hi! community people!

So, what is faster? Read a list indexed with enums or read a set of variables?

It would be better if you elaborate on the context a bit more.

Basically the accessing speed of the data:

Variables:

variable1 = 20;
variable2 = " hello";
variable3 = 3000;
variable4 = 500;

List and enums :

enum variables
{
 force,
 name,
 healt,
 lives
}

list = ds_list_create();

list[| variables.force] = 20;
list[| variables.name] = "hello";
list[| variables.healt] = 30;
list[| variables.lives] = 500;

accessing :

strenght = variable1;

or

strenght = list[ variables.force];
