Short-circuit evaluation for "&&" and "||"

[tatt61880]

I like Short-circuit evaluation.

I suggest this because the code below returns warning, currently.

Code: Select all

Scene.my.test = 0;
(Scene.my.test == 0 || 4 / Scene.my.test == 2) ? {} : {}


-- Warning: Failed to evaluate: (Scene.my.test == 0 || 4 / Scene.my.test == 2) ? {} : {}, Division by zero

Is it difficult to implement?

just split it into 2 if-structures

I don't like unnecessary usage of if-structures.

"||" and "'&&" is normally used as short-circuit evaluation, so I expected them to behave same in Thyme.
(c.f. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_evaluation)

In my opinion, it's not bug, so I put this in suggestion forum, but some users can consider this is a bug.

It's the same problem as true ? (1/1) : (1/0) returns error.
I don't think it's worth to care about - no big deal.

the true ? (1/1) : (1/0) returns probably a error because you divide by 0 (X/0=impossible)

1.8.0 Thyme expression error
He is talking about this.
In my opinion, it's nothing to do with my suggestion.
