I ask as `foo unless (@bar&.nil? && @baz > 15)` does not result in a syntax error, though using `&& @baz.> 15` will. Yes, this is an issue of syntax precedence. As comparison operators have higher precedence than logical operators, `nil && bar > 15` is interpreted as `nil && (bar > 15)`. OTOH, a method call without parentheses has lower precedence, because its arguments may contain such logical expressions, so the combination of them, e.g, `nil && p a && b`, is ambiguous/confusing. ---------------------------------------- Bug #16389: Unexpected tINTEGER in conditional expression https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16389#change-82975 * Author: codinganarchy (Matthew Tanous) * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: ruby 2.6.4p104 (2019-08-28 revision 67798) [x86_64-darwin18] * Backport: 2.5: UNKNOWN, 2.6: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- I'm not sure that this is a bug, or simply an unexpected result of operator precedence, but I am seeing a result that appears to me to be an issue. When putting a conditional expression after a command call using `unless`, I am seeing a syntax error when I believe the syntax should be valid. In particular: ```ruby def foo puts "This method just has to exist" end foo unless (@bar&.nil? && @baz&.> 15) ``` This produces`syntax error, unexpected tINTEGER, expecting ')'` following the `&.>` safe navigation. I would not expect a syntax error here. This seems a strange result to me, as `foo unless (@bar&.nil? and @baz&.> 15)` appears to work as expected, producing no syntax error. Please let me know if I am missing something in either my expectation or the issue report. Thanks! -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
