Wanting to show you in few lines of code, some differences with or wihtout
the (),
I came accros this interesting riddle...

So, smart livecoders, try to guess what would be the 4 answers to this
script;
then run it and thanks to comment :)


on mouseUp
   if false or true and false then
      answer "Got it 1!"
   else
      answer "False 1!"
   end if
   if false or (true and false) then
      answer "Got it 2!"
   else
      answer "False 2!"
   end if
   if false or true then
      answer "Got it 3!"
   else
      answer "False 3!"
   end if
   if false and false or true then
      answer "Got it 4!"
   else
      answer "False 4!"
   end if
end mouseUp


Regards,

Thierry
