Set Stock or Bool

What is better in this case?

Option 1:

PHP Code:


		
			

public SpawnEffects( id )
{
         CreateExplosion( id );
         CreateWave( id );
}
stock CreateExplosion( id )
{
        // Effect
}
stock CreateWave( id )
{
        // Effect
}

or Option 2:

PHP Code:


		
			
public SpawnEffects( id )
{
         CreateExplosion( id, true );
}
stock CreateExplosion( id, bool:Wave )
{
        // Effect

       if(Wave)
       {
            // Create Wave
       }
}

what is faster?

Re: Set Stock or Bool

Those two codes don't do the same thing.
You're overthinking things way too much with respect to execution speed for trivial code. Just write code that works. If it become a problem (unlikely) then you can optimize later.

mm I think the example and the question were extremely clear and basic, it was only to answer either option 1 or option 2
, neither of the 2 has answered what I asked, they only gave an opinion, but not a 3-word answer

and yes, they do, in both, a wave and an explosion are created, only the call of 1 stock is saved, in addition to leaving an option for it

Re: Set Stock or Bool

There will not be any significant difference.

That it is not significant does not mean that there is a difference, there is, that is why I asked which one is faster, I do not understand what is the reason for evading the answer, one could say, "the difference is not significant but the 2 is faster" , that is all

There is absolutely no reason to care which is faster (because the difference is negligible) on even a semi-modern computer. If you're interested to know the difference between two versions of code, you may be interested in learning how to profile code yourself. There are some threads on it.

You're certainly free to dislike the answer and you can wait for another answer also.

Yes, I received a much more effective and faster response:

I gave you a valid response that even you have seen from other people here.

Re: Set Stock or Bool

Use the first method, because it's more unique and flexible, if you wanted to use/call each function by itself
