Hi gurus,

Forgive the trivialness of this question but I am wondering if you smart folks can answer this.

Compare these two statements:

If booleanVar;
If not booleanVar;

Do both of these take the exact same number of internal instructions for the test or does the second statement take an extra step?

Thanks.

Glenn Gundermann
