~ overflow ~

Problem:

I can’t tell if this is a good practice, but i don’t really care, it speeds up the process.

I’m talking about this specific IF notation:

$x=1;

// this:

if ($x == 1) {

// do something

} else {

// do something

}

// .. can be replaced with this

return ($x == 1) ? /* true */ : /* false */;

// however... this:

if ($x == 1) {

// do something

} else {

if ($x == 2) {

// do something

} else {

// do something

}

}

// can't be replaced with the ? : notation

Solution:

function foo($x) { return $x; }

return ($x == 1) ? /* x = 1 */ : foo(($x == 2) ? /* x=2 */ : /* x = other */);
