RE: [CFCDev] CFC wish-list

[Roland Collins]

Because the code to be executed is evaluated at run-time and not compiled, yes – cfif/cfelse is (almost) always faster than IIf().  The only time this wouldn’t be true is if you had the following statement:   <cfif somethingIsTrue>             <cfset result = Evaluate(“something”)> <cfelse> <cfset result = Evaluate(“somethingElse”)> </cfif>   That statement is functionally equivalent to IIf(somethingIsTrue, “something”, “somethingElse”).   Roland   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas Knudsen Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 5:49 PM To: CFCDev@cfczone.org Subject: Re: [CFCDev] CFC wish-list     On 5/26/05, Sean Corfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On 5/26/05, Adam Cameron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Oh, well I guess their idea is - as the docs actually say, now that I > look at them - that the second and third arguments are just STRINGS. > And then iif() kindly does an implicit evaluate() on those strings for > you (yeech: what a nightmare). And you wonder why the Web Team Coding Guidelines say: "Don't use iif() Always use cfif/cfelse instead of iif(). It is significantly faster and more readable."       is this still so under cfmx?  the faster part that is.   DK   :) :) -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://fusebox.org/ Got Gmail? -- I have 50, yes 50, invites to give away!
