I wrote a couple of functions (condition1 and condition2), each of which
puts its identity after a script variable named myResult then returns true.
I then wrote the following:
put empty into myResult
if condition1() is true and condition2() is true then put myResult
As expected, this displayed 12 in the message box.
Then I changed the if statement to :
if condition1() is true and (condition2() is true) then put myResult
The message box still ended up with 12 in it, not 21 as you would expect if
the parens had any effect. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something but it
doesn't seem like parens have any effect on the order of evaluation.
Parens only affect things within them. They work much like algebra in
that regard.
