So really the only optimization is saving you coding time by changing one value instead of potentially hundreds.

That's what I'm asking, if it will simply replace it with 500 and 2000 or compile it as 1000000 and not as 500 * 2000.

No that's not what I'm asking, I know it will be 1000000, read my post again...

Not quite what I asked.

I wanted to ask if the compiler will have to calculate the operation between the constants when I want to assign it to x, or if it will replace it as 1000000 and assign it to x.
