If Statements

-----------------------------------

I have a question about if statements:

[code]
if ( i = 10 and e = 4 and r = 6 then) {
    do stuff
}
[/code]

If i = 8, will it ever check for e or r?

Most languages will check the second argument only if the first is not enough to determine the outcome of the expression.

You can check for this yourself, by having the second argument of a boolean expression to perform some observable side-effect.
