!= false vs. == true

I think I've read somewhere that the evaluation of negation (!= false) is faster than == true

Is this correct?

Solution

  • That's not correct. All modern compilers and interpreters will optimize that.

    What matters (to me, at least) is that == true is much faster for ME to interpret.

    Remember, premature optimization is the root of all evil.

    Edit: Yes, i use if(true). But that was not the question.
