Question

boolean a = m1();
boolean b = m2();
boolean c = m3();

Currently my code looks like this and mostly the condition for "c" is bound to be true

if (a || b || c)

Would it make sense to re-write the code as if (c || a || b), so that the if condition can be quickly evaluated.

Answer 1

Yes that would make sense, but evaluating just booleans is negligible. You’d probably be better inlining the method calls, though so you only execute the code which is neccessary:

if (m3() || m1() || m2())
