Is using get() excessively in Java inefficient? -

i wondering whether more efficient use get() excessively on object or store return of get() in variable , use that. example, more efficient this:

someobject.setcolor(otherobject.getcolor().r, otherobject.getcolor().g,           otherobject.getcolor().b); 

or store in variable this

color color = otherobject.getcolor(); someobject.setcolor(color.r, color.g, color.b); 

option 1: write code in example 1.

• the java runtime might or might not optimize code (to turn example 2)
• harder read

option 2: write code in example 2.

• does not rely on optimizations java runtime
• easier read

in experience runtime difference can ignored (you can't measure difference if not executed within giant loop), writing clean , understandable code counts.
