.AND. Logical AND--binary (Logical) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Syntax <lCondition1> .AND. <lCondition2> Type Logical Operands <lCondition1> and <lCondition2> are logical expressions to AND. Description The .AND. operator is a binary logical operator that executes a logical AND operation using the following modified Boolean rules: . Returns true (.T.) if both <lCondition1> and <lCondition2> evaluate to true (.T.) . Returns false (.F.) if either <lCondition1> and <lCondition2> evaluate to false (.F.) Warning! In a departure from Summer '87 and other dialect behavior, Clipper shortcuts the evaluation of .AND. operands. This means that <lCondition1> and <lCondition2> are both evaluated only when <lCondition1> evaluates to TRUE (.T.). If <lCondition1> evaluates to FALSE (.F.), the .AND. operation is FALSE (.F.) and <lCondition2> is therefore not evaluated. For backward compatibility, shortcutting can be suppressed by compiling with the /Z option. Examples . This example shows .AND. results using different operands: ? .T. .AND. .T. // Result: .T. ? .T. .AND. .F. // Result: .F. ? .F. .AND. .T. // Result: .F. (shortcut) ? .F. .AND. .F. // Result: .F.
