I've read a lot of places that instead of

If A=2 and B=7

you should make it run faster by writing

If (A=2)(B=7)

But does this really make the program run faster? It seems like it would take the calc longer to multiply the two statements than to just see if they were both true.

here are the ones I use (I am going to repeat some):


Code:
If X (not equal) Y
is slower than
If X-Y

If X or Y
is slower than
If X+Y (won't work if one or both can be negative)

If X and Y
is slower than
If XY

If X=0
is slower than
If not(X

If X=1
is slower than
If X (i am assuming X = 0 or X = 1 in this case)

I could merge this topic to the other topic, but it appears this is no longer possible. Sad
