Looking at a few things with the EMU and PEQ database and had a question.
Which way would be faster if there is much difference? Assuming that about 1000 entries are read in from the database and 20% of the entries are larger than 256.
Code:
heading = db.heading;
if heading > 256 { heading = heading % 256; }
or
Code:
heading = db.heading % 256;
My initial assumption is that the if statement would require more processor use if that remains 20%. Now, if that is the difference, what if I were to reduce the entries to 0% larger than 256. Would that change the processor use in either direction?
