well at a guess I would have said that code block 1 was better because you are doing 1 test and 1 set. In code block 2 you are potentially doing an unnecessary set making it slightly less efficient but if I'm gonna pull you up on this I guess I oughta get out more ;)

I was mulling this over last night.... Should there be any preference between the following two examples of code? <!--- Code Block 1 ---> <cfif myQuery.RecordCount> <cfset theName = myQuery.FIRST_NAME & " " & myQuery.LAST_NAME> <cfelse> <cfset theName = "Undefined"> </cfif> <!--- Code Block 2 ---> <cfset theName = "Undefined"> <cfif myQuery.RecordCount> <cfset theName = myQuery.FIRST_NAME & " " & myQuery.LAST_NAME> </cfif> I prefer code block 2 as it is one less line, but are there any technical merits between the two Does it matter? Should I get out more? It can be grim up north you know :-) DC ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Your ad could be here.
