Talk:Short-circuit evaluation

Why a draft task?

A comment in here (look for shortcutting), thought that the task would most likely not be written in a neutral manner. I've tried to write a task that allows each language, whether it has short-circuit evaluation or not, to solve the problem idiomatically.
I saw the comments on the Icon solution, for example, which makes me think that the task could soon lose the draft status? --Paddy3118 23:59, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

I removed the draft status as the examples seem to cope (another example is Pascal where some compilers have it and some do not).

Error in task?

The problem states:

  x = a(i) and b(j)
  y = a(j) or  b(j)

But the only example is written as:

  x = a(i) and b(j)
  y = a(i) or  b(j)

Either the definition of the first example is wrong. I'm guessing the task description but ... --Dgamey 17:50, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

You are right of course. Hopefully fixed now, thanks. --Paddy3118 23:43, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
