Re: Operation Precedence questions

I think the part you may be overlooking is that "Operation Precedence"
applies to expressions, not statements.

 "X < 10 + 5 * 4" is an expression.

 "X < 10 + 5 * 4 AND A=1" is two expressions, but the second one is not
 evaluated if X is not less than 30.

At least, that's how I think of it.
