Hi,

that's because you need to pass a block, since you want to postpone to execution.

i.e. false and: [Transcript open]. (otherwise the binary operation Transcript open will take precedence over keyword false and:)

You can always look at the implementation of those things �� I always learn something from it. :)

��and: alternativeBlock��

Hello

I would like to ask how to do non-evaluating and.
As far as I know, & should be evaluating and and: should be non-evaluating.
However, I need to find a way how to use it properly.

In "conventional" languages I would expect to work it like in following
example...
�� false and: Transcript open
Since false is... false... there is no reason to evaluate Transcript open.
But when I run this one in playground, transcript opens.

Any help is appreciated.

Jan
