.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Conway advises against combining the low-precedence booleans ( \f(CW\*(C`and
or not\*(C'\fR ) with the high-precedence boolean operators ( \f(CW\*(C`&& || !\*(C'\fR ) in
the same expression.  Unless you fully understand the differences
between the high and low-precedence operators, it is easy to
misinterpret expressions that use both.  And even if you do understand
them, it is not always clear if the author actually intended it.
