[DUG] Curious re efficiency of using in [set of integer]

[Ross Levis]

I should do that.

 

It may matter if it’s converting to something expensive code in ASM, and this code is being executed a few thousand times.

Just put it in a loop of 10k and time it. 

But honestly, does it really matter?

Var Total: Integer;

If I want to test 2 or 3 values of an integer, I often use

if Total in [4,6] then ...

But is that more or less efficient for the CPU/ASM coding than

if (Total = 4) or (Total = 6) then ...

I’m not sure how to find out myself.
