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

If you just want to flip the values, then do:

array[i] = !array[i];

Performance using this is actually worse though, as instead of only having to do a single check for a true false value then setting, it checks twice.

If you declare a 1000000 element array of true,false, true,false pattern comparision is slower. (var b = !b) essentially does a check twice instead of once
