I am learning Erlang from the LearnYouSomeErlang web-book. One thing that struck me while learning was the non short-circuiting boolean conjunction and disjunction operators viz; and and or. What are the use cases for these operators? Why would you want to use them instead of andalso and orelse?
It used to be (until R13A) that
andalsoandorelseweren’t tail recursive. See http://www.erlang.org/eeps/eep-0017.html for details. I don’t think there is a good reason to useand/orin new programs.
