I've got plenty of these lying around, and I'm wondering if I'm going to face any trouble - or performance problems.
I have method A:
MyClass monkey;
...
if(monkey != null) {
...
}
Or method B:
boolean hasMonkey; //This is set to TRUE when monkey is not null
MyClass monkey;
...
if(hasMonkey) {
...
}
On a functional level, they both do the same thing. Right now, I'm using method A. Is that a bad way of doing things? Which is going to perform better?
