Faster at runtime

Question

I am wondering which statements are faster at run-time :
normal if-else statement (if{}else {})
or ?: operator (condition?:true:false)

Answer 1

probably the ? operator beacause the code is shorter so you dont need that much bits

Answer 2

On my point of view there is no really essential difference between the two variants.

It is just used to shorten the program. Normally you're writing much more code after an if - condition. But if you're simply manipulating the value of a variable, you can also use the ?:-condition.

But the major advance of if-conditions is, that they can be nested.

Answer 3

that is no proper reason.
java is translated into bytecode so your argument is lacking.
my guess is, they are equal.
