That's precisely the kind of conditional I'm curious about -- I want to be able to change display output based on conditions, but after watching the memory footprint of this app get larger and larger, I want to do it in the most computationally efficient manner.

Is the following code (assume it's all inside a single function and variable zap isn't static or persistent:

int zap = (calculationToGetZap(parameter) );

if (zap > 50) {
  doBigThing();
}

else if (zap > 100) {
 doBiggerThing();
}

else {
 doTinyThing(); 
}

the same (in terms of memory allocation and other resource efficiency) as this:

if ((calculationToGetZap(parameter)  > 50) {
  doBigThing();
}

else if ((calculationToGetZap(parameter)  > 100) {
 doBiggerThing();
}

else {
 doTinyThing(); 
}
