else or return?

Question

Which one out of following two is best wrt to performance and standard practice. How does .NET internally handles these two code snippets?

Code1

If(r         


        

Answer 1

Personally I always like to return ASAP so I would go for something like:

if (result)
{
    // do something
    return;
}

// do something if not result

With regards to performance, I doubt either have any advantages over eachother it really comes down to readability and personal taste. I assume .NET would optimize your first code block to something like the above.
