I remember a thread in BlitzCoder suggesting that Select is quicker at Machine Code level as it only loaded the value into a register once while IF did it each test. However, this was right after a thread which stated BB converts Select to IF/ELSE statements at compile time so the only difference is 'readability'.
hmmm ... never knew that.
I wish I could find my previous thread because there was some timescale testing and comparisons between IF/THEN and Select done by some people.
I might have also found an answer to me own question earlier that 'Select True' takes the first true case statement. Not sure I'd really want to use it that way.
How does it know which variables you want to Select against
That's what the variable argument in the Case statement. is for...
