Categories: Primitives, Logic
Given two arbitrary boolean -valued phrase s, answer a joint denial, i.e., NOR, phrase. The resulting phrase short-circuits the computation, i.e., only evaluates b if a is false.
Position Name Type Description
Parameters
1 a expression phrase ⇒ boolean An expression phrase that yield a boolean.
2 b expression phrase ⇒ boolean An expression phrase that yield a boolean.
Returns send phrase ⇒ boolean a ↓ b.

Compute and answer the joint denial, i.e., NOR, of the arguments. This is equivalent to ¬({@param a } ∨ b ). Short-circuit the computation, i.e., only evaluate b if a is false.

Parameters
1 a boolean
2 b []→boolean
Returns boolean
