It's the fastest because: Pre-decrementation (--i) is faster than post-decrementation (i--) And substraction (- (-1) is faster than addition (+ 1).
They are faster because it's less code that gets produced when you compile. http://flasm.sourceforge.net/#optimization For most cases, it's a matter of milliseconds or even less, which isn't that big a deal, but I use it anyway because it's a good habit to have and it makes my code logic work with that in mind always so when it does make a difference in seconds, it's already there. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
