Interpretation order for logical operators

[n3olcsatok]

Hi there!

I would like make use of the order in which the logical operators, such as AND and OR are interpreted. For example, in C and C++ the AND operator is interpreted from left to right, so if the expression on the left side of the operator is false, the rest is not processed at all.

In particular, with something like the follwing code:

If myBoolean And foo() Then

where foo() returns a boolean, to do this:
If myBoolean is false, foo() is not executed
If myBoolean is true, foo() is executed and the result is used for the AND expression.


I wonder if anyone knows whether VBA has such an order and what it is like?

In VBA all parts of logical operations are evaluated. In VB.NET there are two special operators: AndAlso and OrElse. They are used as you described in your post for C++.

I guess it was too much to expect :D
Thanks!

If you make myBoolean global, the first line of foo() could be

If Not myBoolean Then Exit Function
