Optimization, alot of If's

[spanga]

Hello. Is there any performance difference at all between my two examples. When you got more like 50 cases instead of 2.

Ex 1.

CODE

If StringInStr($number,"!02") > 0 THEN Return 3

If StringInStr($number,"?10") > 0 THEN Return 3

Ex 2.

CODE

If StringInStr($number,"!02") > 0 OR StringInStr($number,"?10") > 0 THEN Return 3

Measure it using the code at the bottom of the TimerDiff page in the help file.

I would use the code from your first example for ease of read.

What about sticking the conditions in an array and looping through them?

Select & Case commands are your friend

Sure they are, but I'm only interested in the perfomance - you say it's faster than any of the examples?

Did you measure them using sample code like you posted? You would have had your answer by now.
