Hi All,
This is probably a very basic question but here goes anyways
Is it?
-- which would be faster in C/C++ (or would it make no difference at all?):
while(condition) { ... }
OR
while(true) { ... if(condition) break; ... }
I'm not sure, if my answer is correct, but I would think of it in the following way. The compiler would produce an appropriate code for each of /block-code/ mentioned above, and the one with less number of instruction set, would (should?) perform faster.
If this is part of a bigger program, using boolean variables with while loop, could prove useful.
