Re: Which code executes faster

The statement modifier form,

return 1 if $n < 1;
[download]

should be a bit faster, since no lexical scope is created. Faster yet could be,

return $n < 1;
[download]

if that's what you want to happen when the test fails.

In most non-trivial code it's not going to make any noticeable difference.

Faster yet could be. hmm, like Yoda do you speak. ;) seriously though alandev, there is unlikely to be a real world increase in speed. You should go with whatever's going to be easiest for you (and the programmer who comes after you) to read. --- my name's not Keith, and I'm not reasonable.	[reply]
