So, source line 1 was compiled to 7 lines binary, line 3 was 8
lines, line 5 was 9 lines.
Look closely, why are you counting the RETURN?
I'm sorry, it's my mistake. Last RETURN becomes from whole chunk, not a single source line. Exactly, source line 1 was compiled to 7 lines, line 3 and 5 were 8 lines.
So this is a 'win'? Colour me unimpressed.
The difference between line 1 and 3, a ternary operator and and/or, is little. and/or needs one more TEST line (And, this TEST line is what I want to eliminate by a ternary operator...). But the difference between line 1 and 5, a ternary operator and if-statement, is big. With a ternary operator, a compiler calculated left operand of assignment only once. But with if-statement, the left operand must be compiled twice. When the left operand is complex, this difference became bigger.
