2.2.2 Boolean Operations

These are the Boolean operations, ordered by ascending priority:

Operation Result Notes

x or y if x is false, then y, else x (1)
x and y if x is false, then x, else y (1)
not x if x is false, then 1, else 0 (2)

Operation	Result	Notes
`x or y`	if `x` is false, then `y`, else `x`	(1)
`x and y`	if `x` is false, then `x`, else `y`	(1)
`not x`	if `x` is false, then `1`, else `0`	(2)

Notes:

(1): These only evaluate their second argument if needed for their outcome.
(2): "not" has a lower priority than non-Boolean operators, so not a == b is interpreted as not (a == b), and a == not b is a syntax error.
