= and ==

[Damian]

Can someone remind me what the difference between these two are, and when to use which.

The "=" assigns a value to something.
Ex: var poop = 1;
The "==" checks if 2 values are the same.
Ex: if (poo==1) {
trace("Poo is 1");
}

Zrb is correct one again :]

You use = for assignment,
like in his example.
You use == during conditions.
Here's a tutorial on loops + conditions.

This is the second time you link to that tutorial ;)

Thanks.

zrbCorrect += 1;
kguareCorrect -= 1000;
trace(zrbCorrect);

Output: 9001 :]

Yes, the number is over 9000.

zrbCorrect++; //reduces lag :P

kguareCorrect -= 1000;
trace(zrbCorrect);

What over 9000 ?!?!?

Zrb, that's probably the first time
i've ever seen you use

The code tags.

My little boy's growing up :]

And fine, use your cute little operator abbreviations, Real men don't use them.

Does it really reduce the lag? I didn't know that...

I've heard that it does :p

If it does, i learned something today.
But even if that were true, i'm sure
it wouldn't increase the lag by THAT much.

It does, but the difference is so minoscule that its barely noticable unless you're doing around 100,000+ interation.
We're talking, for a 100,000 loop of i++, 288 miliseconds to process, for i+=1 300 miliseconds to process

Dear god...

BIG difference. :]
