Gas displayed on “Remix”

Question

Is Gas displayed on "Remix" at function execution the same as when executed on the main net?

I'm using the Javascript VM as the environment.

Answer 1

It should be. The gas cost relates to the size of the contract to deploy and the OPCODES executed by functions in the course of a given transaction. Those should be same in either case.

A departure could be due to conditional logic where the initial conditions are different. For example if(block.number > 1000000) { // do conditional things }.

Hope it helps.
