Which 'if' Statement Is More Efficient?

Asked 277 views1 answers

I am just wondering which statement is more efficient and recommended to use. I don't care about the code, I just want to know for future reference which way is better.

1:

if game.Players[spawnNPC.Data.Owner.Value].Days.Value < 3 then
		foodToChoose = tier_1_tab
	end
	
if game.Players[spawnNPC.Data.Owner.Value].Days.Value < 5 then
	foodToChoose = tier_2_tab
end

2:

if game.Players[spawnNPC.Data.Owner.Value].Days.Value < 3 then
		foodToChoose = tier_1_tab
elseif game.Players[spawnNPC.Data.Owner.Value].Days.Value < 5 then
	foodToChoose = tier_2_tab
end

The 2nd one. But you would have to check the higher numbers first,

if game.Players[spawnNPC.Data.Owner.Value].Days.Value < 5 then
        foodToChoose = tier_2_tab
elseif game.Players[spawnNPC.Data.Owner.Value].Days.Value < 3 then
    foodToChoose = tier_1_tab
end

So basically, if that value is higher than 5, no need to check for 3. If its not higher than 5, then check the next statement.

Also if you want the 5 to be included, put <=. How your statement is right now it's 6 or higher. Unless thats how you want it.
