Subject:      Is Boolean logic faster?
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Is Boolean logic faster?  Does it matter?


Which is faster

    test = ((num > 0)*(color='B'));

or

    if num > 0 and color = 'B' then test=1; else test=0;

Do both statements compile into the same thing?


Please advise.
Thanks,
Nigel
