Which is faster? Comparison or assignment?

Question

I\'m doing a bit of coding, where I have to write this sort of code:

if( array[i]==false )
    array[i]=true;

I wonder if it should be re-w

Answer 1

Might give this a try:

if(!array[i])
    array[i]=true;

But really the only way to know for sure is to profile, I'm sure pretty much any compiler would see the comparison to false as unnecessary and optimize it out.
