Chapter 7. Basic Programming Statements

IN THIS CHAPTER

• Selectors

• Loops

This chapter looks closely at how choices between basic programming statements—that do essentially the same thing—can affect your programs. Often, it is not very clear what the performance and footprint repercussions are of choosing a certain solution. In this chapter, different solutions are presented together with useful data on their performance. This will provide the necessary insight into what actually happens when a program executes and how to determine an optimal implementation solution. Ready-to-use solutions are, of course, offered for the more common implementation problems.
