Groovy hepcat Dave Dutcher was jivin' on 27 Jul 1999 21:44:32 GMT in comp.os.msdos.programmer. Re: Iteration vs. Recursion...'s a cool scene!

A switch can be more efficient than a series of if statements, but that all depends on the compiler. But I'd say the suggestion to use switch instead of if was more for readability than anithing else. -- ----- Dig the EVEN NEWER, MORE IMPROVED news sig!! ----- -------------- Shaggy was here! --------------- http://aardvark.apana.org.au/~phaywood/ ============= Ain't I'm a dawg!! ==============
