Thank you for your reply - I can see that you understand my problem exactly.

I have always been told that a double comparison would be more expensive than an int or a boolean. BUT I just tried a test and found that there was NO DIFFERNCE at all between boolean or double comparison - see code below.

My view that when you check a boolean you are looking at maybe one byte, but considerably more for double. How can processor achieve this in the same time?

 
      std::clock_t start;
      std::clock_t end;
      double diff;
 
      int i;
      int a = 2;
      int b= 3;
      bool ba = true;
      bool bb = false;
      double da = 2.0;
      double db = 3.0;
      double cc;
      string input = "";
 
      printf("Start\n");
      start = std::clock();
      for (i=0;i<4000000000;i++)
      {
            if (da==db) //MAKE CHANGES HERE
            {
                  cc = 2.0+i;
                  da == cc;
            }
            else
            {
                  cc = 2.0+i;
                  db = cc;
            }
      }
 
      end = std::clock();
 
      diff = ( end - start)  / (double) CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
      printf ("Done[%f]: %f\n",cc,diff);
      //getline(cin,input);
      return 0;
