(*) Starred explanations indicate that the operator requires integer arguments. Capital letters A and B indicate that the operator requires string arguments.
Logical AND (&&) and OR (3#33#3) short-circuit the way they do in C. That is, the second && operand is not evaluated if the first is false; the second 3#33#3 operand is not evaluated if the first is true.
Serial evaluation occurs only in parentheses and is guaranteed to proceed in left to right order. The value of the rightmost subexpression is returned.
