Is a chained if-elseif conditional check proceeding all checks always independent if one check is true?

Is a chained if-elseif conditional check proceeding all checks always independent if one check is true?

No, the netSCRIPT interpreter optimizes.

A sequence of if-elseif inquiries like below will be left with the first met condition, the rest will be bypassed.

if mystate == nil then

-- script is in init state

MY_STATE_INIT_DONE, MY_STATE_1, MY_STATE_2 = 1,2,3

…

mystate = MY_STATE_INIT_DONE

-- script is in running state

elseif mystate == MY_STATE_INIT_DONE then

…

mystate = MY_STATE_1

elseif mystate == MY_STATE_1 then

…

mystate = MY_STATE_1

elseif mystate == MY_STATE_2 then

…

mystate = MY_STATE_INIT_DONE

end

The script execution will be slightly faster, if conditions that are more likely to happen are being placed at the top in such a sequence.
