ah okay! i always programmed in java and just recently started c/c++ it works a bit different in java so i thought maybe it would be faster in c/c++ too

Hey, this is my first post! i was reading through some mangos source code and i'm really interested in how this emulator works. im quite new to c++ but i cant help but notice that people dont use bitwise operators. like so: if (a&b) { action } instead of if (a&&b) { action } now bitwise operators are faster. if 'a' is false it automaticly stops processing and return 0, it doesnt check the other variable. so i was interested and did some tests. this is what came out: ********************************** bitwise [00]: 2235 nanoseconds result: false bitwise [10]: 1676 nanoseconds result: false bitwise [01]: 2235 nanoseconds result: false bitwise [11]: 1676 nanoseconds result: true ********************************** non bitwise [00]: 2793 nanoseconds result: false non bitwise [10]: 1955 nanoseconds result: false non bitwise [01]: 1955 nanoseconds result: false non bitwise [11]: 1677 nanoseconds result: true ********************************** as you can see, using bitwise operators is at least 10% faster then not using bitwise operators. for the testing i used: if (a && b) { result = true; } else { result = false; } the using of bitwise operators seems faster when using while, will this help you guys in any way?
