optimization - What advantage is gained by placing a literal value on the LHS of a boolean expression? -

i've noticed subtle trend among developers consistently place literal value of boolean equality look on left hand side of expression.

example:

//style #1, style in question if (null == object.value || 0 == object.value) dosomething(); //style #2, way i've written if (object.value == null || object.value == 0) dosomething();

is there measurable advantage gained writing boolean expressions #1? can't see why evaluate faster @ runtime, wonder if perhaps compilers can optimize #1 more readily #2? if so, please explain compilers , why.

i've considered matter of personal taste (perhaps there readability argument made), i've seen plenty code written #1 wonder if there more i'm aware of.

some developers follow , advocate (1) if accidentally mis-type comparing (==) assignment (=), compiler issue error during compilation. in (2) same mis-typing not issue compilation error, result in flawed programme logic because if resolve true due assignment.

How do I check if an insert was successful with MySQLdb in Python? - i have code: cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute(("insert new_files (videos_id, filename, " "is_processing) values (%s,%s,1)"), (id, filename)) logging.warn("%d", cursor.rowcount) if (cursor.rowcount == 1): logging.info("inserted values %d, %s", id, filename) else: logging.warn("failed insert values %d, %s", id, filename) cursor.close() fun is, cursor.rowcount always one, though updated database create videos_id unique key. is, insert fails because in tests same videos_id going appear (and when check database, nil inserted). whatever reason, rowcount 1 - logging.warn have spits out rowcount of 1. so, question: can utilize rowcount work out if insert went fine? if so, (presumably) doing wrong? otherwise, how check if insert went fine? your code not commit after modifications (your modifications rolled back). should...
