Title: incorrect evaluation
Post by: Thomas Bock on October 16, 2019, 09:45:34 AM

In my opinion the following condition should print a star

Code: [Select]

if 1 or 0 and 0 then print "*"It is the same as

Code: [Select]

if 1 or (0 and 0) then print "*"or

Code: [Select]

1+0*0For better understanding we will add the brackets.
PxPlus doesn't print a star. I'm curious, what am I missing?

The 'AND' and 'OR' operators have the same precedence level, so they are evaluated left-to-right. In this case, it essentially works out to be:

Code: [Select]

if (1 or 0) and 0 then print "*"
