From: Le Wang (nospam) Date: 2001-12-31T18:21:47+09:00 Subject: [ruby-talk:29829] && vs. and Hi all, In "Programming Ruby", it was explained that the only difference between '&&' and 'and' is precedence, the same seems to be implied in the 1.4 Reference Manual. true and puts 'test' true && puts 'test' Why doesn't the second statement work? Thanks. -lw
