Yeah, that kind of threw me. What’s the difference between “AndAlso” and “And”? Does it have something to do with lazy vs strict evaluation?

It’s a “bitwise” And versus the “logical” And with left-to-right associativity with early drop-out from expression evaluation if any of the terms on the left evaluate to false.
