Lag issues with enum State

[Before 96]

I have a long series of

if (getState() == state.STATE1)
        {
            return "STATE1";
        }

And it creates a tremendous amount of lag. I'm probably doing something wrong (and tbh it's not that important, it's just for a paint). Does anyone have an idea of what I could be doing wrong?

 

Edit: I just did a super easy workaround idk why I was even doing this shit in the first place.

if (getState() == state.STATE1){

            return "STATE1";

}

if (getState() == state.STATE1){
            return "STATE1";
}

Well I mean that's what I did

Dude they're legit the same you put the sqiggly bracket on a line above it's identical

Paint can cause lag because it "loops" very fast, so it makes all calculations as fast as it can.

(ofc i don't know the real technical explaination)

 

 

anyways you should just do

return getState().toString();

why even return the string? just return the enum type.

because your paint doesn't paint enums

For every if statement that you have of that nature, it is running your getState method once. So if you stored the state like private State (or whatever the enum is called) currentState; and then did currentState = getState(); then just check what currentState is.
