UnitAddItem() vs UnitAddItemById()

Hey i been doing some optimization work on one of my maps and im completly cleaning BJ's functions. The question is what is better if i need to create an item and give it to the hero? UnitAddItem(HERO, CreateItem(....)) or UnitAddItemById(HERO, ITEMID) im sure that the hero has a free spot in the inventory so i guess best choice is UnitAddItemById() but maybe i can learn something from an experieced jasser

Thanks

Well I'm not that experienced with JASS, but as far as I can tell the less function calls the better. So I would go with the "byID" form, since it's one function.

*Not experienced.*

I would say UnitAddItemById would be better, because the latter looks like two functions[?] stuffed into one. Also, UnitAddItemById looks like it directly references the ID (obviously) so it might not have to go through a string-ID conversion (theorizing that). Lastly, UnitAddItem has an extra pair of (parenthesis).

Spawning things by id is always faster, even if just minimally so. You won't see the difference in game, but sleep better knowing it's there.
