@brettmoan These optimizations are done by compilers. So is it necessary for us to do these kind of optimization?
-
@arunabhghosal Considering that you can optimise it again by using a ternary then yeah it is.
-
@arunabhghosal I'm pretty sure the computer would not optimize it. Since the default would be loaded to a register then saved, then it would be taken out and compared. I'm about 50 to 75% sure that compilers would not convert it to an automatic else.

@manisarao on a simple string running in one thread? Insignificant, very insignificant. On a larger object or done frequently (such as multithreaded application or a large liop) very significant.
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
Go big or go home.
I once declared and initialized a variable with a default value all together. (var a= "default";)
And in a certain IF condition the variable value has to be changed, so i was changing the value of the variable inside IF condition. If (x==y) { a=" newVal" ;}
During a code review i was asked why i am not assigning the default value in ELSE condition. And i was like whut 😑.
So........ Some Programmers be like IF shouldn't exist without ELSE.
