Re: [basex-talk] short-circuit of and operator.

Hi Pablo,

Should code of this type depending on the short-circuit evaluation of the and operator evaluate correctly?

Yes, it does. Here is a mini example (it would raise an error otherwise):

1 or error()

Hope this helps, Christian

                                            declare variable

$version:=1; declare variable $outputdb:='test'; declare variable $outputpath:='test'; db:exists($outputdb,$outputpath) and doc(concat($outputdb,'/',$outputpath))/node()/@version = $version

If the file test/test doesn't exist and receive an error even if the evaluation of the condition is possible. If this is normal does it exist a way to write this type of code without use of if?
