How to learn assembely?

unless your using a little bit of your brain, it's true.

StartSelectCase:
    If AVar=1 then
        Dosomething
        Return
        Endif

    If AVar=2 then
        Dosomething
        Return
        Endif
    '

    If AVar=x then
        Dosomething
        Endif

    Return

V2

AVar = Whatever

StartSelectCase:
    If AVar=1 then
        Dosomething
        Goto EndSelectCase
        Endif

    If AVar=x then
        Dosomething
        Goto EndSelectCase
        Endif
    '

    If AVar=y then
        Dosomething
        Endif
EndSelectCase:

Sort of what's under the SelectCase hood.

Now depending how the compiler, language interpret/optimise it, one can be faster than the other. It's hard to tell which will ALWAYS be faster so far as there's millions (and more) different possible itteration/conditions.

Both get the job done! One is easier to read, implement debug.
