Matt GoddenThis is a really basic <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SoftwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareDevelopment</a> question, but I'm still learning <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FirstPrinciples" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirstPrinciples</a>... If you put an IF statement / test in a function (with set outcomes), and then call the function to make the if statement and do or not do a thing, does that have a cost in terms of execution speed / resource use by the program, Vs. having the IF statement in the main body of your code, and then not calling a function if the answer is false?
