If you mean execution efficiency, yes. One problem with lines of code is that some management has tried to use it to measure productivity. More lines written should mean a more efficient programmer. That way you end up writing int x ; int y ; int z ; to be extremely productive, and get a raise! Bo Persson > >Albert
