True. I just tend to do it to stay more consistent with data types even though CF isn't a typed language. Plus, in case it ever moves more towards a typed language, it helps me to be that much closer to being ready. If nothing else, it makes me feel like I'm a better coder :-)

It's possible. Although that's the point at which I stop worrying about optimization -- I only worry about optimization if I see something on a human scale (i.e. more than a few milliseconds). In some cases the optimization turns out to be a collection of smaller optimizations, but I've never found it to be anything as small as choice of evaluation operators. s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:237631 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
