Editing Short-circuit evaluation (section)

=== Precedence ===
Although {{code|AND}} takes [[operator precedence|precedence]] over {{code|OR}} in many languages, this is not a universal property of short-circuit evaluation. An example of the two operators taking the same precedence and being [[left-associative]] with each other is [[POSIX shell]]'s command-list syntax.<ref>{{cite web |title=Shell Command Language |url=https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html |website=pubs.opengroup.org}}</ref>{{rp|at=§2.9.3}}

The following simple left-to-right evaluator enforces a precedence of {{code|AND}} over {{code|OR}} by a {{code|continue}}:

 '''function''' short-circuit-eval (''operators'', ''values'')
     '''let''' ''result'' := True
     '''for each''' (''op'', ''val'') in (''operators'', ''values''):
         '''if''' ''op'' = "AND" && ''result'' = False
             '''continue'''
         '''else if''' ''op'' = "OR" && ''result'' = True
             '''return''' ''result''
         '''else'''
             ''result'' := ''val''
     '''return''' ''result''
