But that was then. Now I think that the statement in the reference meant that while in "a < b < c" it is guaranteed that b is evaluated only once, in "a < b and b < c" b may or maynot be evaluated once. But then, that was what I was thinking when I started writing that sentence. Now I wonder if it is as ambiguous as that. What happens if b is something with side effects?
