Well this is a pleasant surprise, thanks for clearing that up Gernot.  :good:

BTW is this a GCC or GLB optimisation?

Crivens:
That's what I expected to be honest. It's what the ancient language I use at work does, although admittedly I've seen languages that process every single part of an OR.

Kitty Hello:
that's the way the C/C++ code generated works.

bigsofty:
Really surprised here, the andalso command is still being actively introduced to new languages. You've got to ask yourself the question why, when old languages have features that remove the need to have them at all? Anders Hejlsberg designed C# and Delphi, he is at the top of my personsallist of coding geniuses, again though, why does a smart guy introduce a defunct command into C#, that is not really needed? Weird.

Anyways, I digress, again, thanks for clearing that up Gernot.  :good:

Crivens:
Three reasons. Either we aren't 100% understanding what this new command does, they don't understand what the old commands do in the majority of languages, or they are doing it to make things more readable and therefore less complex for the general programmer.

Talking about readable, did anyone ever use Hypercard on the old Macs? I did my whole 3rd year BSc project in it and was the most amazingly readable language I've ever seen. You could even have spaces in variables. Sometimes when trying to work things out you could get away with typing what you wanted to do as you would say it in English and it would work. Brilliant. Probably rose tinted spectacles there. It was 20 years ago almost and I was always very very drunk etc...

Cheers
