Question

I am wondering whether nested if is better than AND statement. I have a loop that goes so many times so I am thinking of faster execution available. Below is the code that has same logic with my code. The nested if statement is inside a loop.

   for ( int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
   {
      // do stuff
      if (x == 5)
      {
         if (y == 3)
         {
             // do stuff
         }
      }
   }  

Will my code be faster by a significant difference if I replace the nested if with this And STATEMENT?

     if ((x == 5) && (y == 3))
           // do stuff

I have read this link but I didn’t find the answer. I am a student and still learning, thanks for all the feedback!

Answer 1

.NET will stop checking if the first part of the conditional is false, so there will be no performance difference between the two.
