Not quite true. Modern compilers and CPU cores will speculatively execute code sequences in parallel that may later be abandoned when the results of predicate evaluation are available; this can be done for both the if-else-if and the else-less-if forms. Regardless, the if-else-if form is much preferred, in terms of providing both the compiler and the maintainer with more information (and is certainly not premature optimization, by any stretch of the imagination). - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
