title: When Two Macros are Faster than One

While working on my Database datapack (still WIP), I knew I'd want to find 

# One Macro
```ts
// one_macro/run.mcfunction

data modify storage test_namespace:test_namespace temp.keyword set value 'entry500'

function test_namespace:one_macro/_searcharray with storage test_namespace:test_namespace temp

data remove storage test_namespace:test_namespace temp.keyword

data remove storage test_namespace:test_namespace temp.result
```

```ts
// one_macro/_searcharray.mcfunction

$data modify storage test_namespace:test_namespace temp.result set from storage`` test_namespace:test_namespace database.test.arrayTest3.array[string:$(keyword)]
```
# Two Macro

```ts
// two_macro/run.mcfunction

data modify storage test_namespace:test_namespace temp.keyword set value 'entry500'

function test_namespace:two_macro/_searchindex with storage test_namespace:test_namespace temp

function test_namespace:two_macro/_searcharray with storage test_namespace:test_namespace temp

data remove storage test_namespace:test_namespace temp.keyword

data remove storage test_namespace:test_namespace temp.index

data remove storage test_namespace:test_namespace temp.result
```

```ts
// two_macro/_searchindex.mcfunction

$data modify storage test_namespace:test_namespace temp.index set from storage test_namespace:test_namespace database.test.arrayTest2.index.$(keyword)
```

```ts
// two_macro/_searcharray.mcfunction

$data modify storage test_namespace:test_namespace temp.result set from storage test_namespace:test_namespace database.test.arrayTest2.array[$(index)]
```
