 You're absolutely right, the compiler knows better than me! Certainly the
 compiler doesn't know *best*, but certainly the compiler knows *better than
 me*.

 something

If you only have arithmetical expressions you can use some properties of arithmetic to compute branching computer code. E.G., if A is either zero or one depending on some previously computed condition, then A times B plus (1-A) times C computes the expression "if A then B else C"
