In the end which is faster, if-else or switch? Thanks -Trev

Used correctly neither is really faster. Once you hit machine code it all turns into conditional branches and jumps anyway. However, I''m guessing switch statements are more idiot proof from a performance standpoint (not a program correctness standpoint.)

Yes, but which creates more branches and jumps?

Ok, the following code:

switch (c) {  case 1:    a = 1;    break;  case 2:    b = 1;    break;  default:    c = 1;} 

Contains the same number of branches and jumps as the functionally equivalent:

if (c == 1) {  a = 1;} else if (c == 2) {  b = 1;} else {  c = 1;} 

Use which ever works best for you at the time. It''s all the same to the clam.
