Categories: Primitives, Logic
Given two arbitrary boolean -valued phrase s, answer an alternative denial, i.e., NAND, phrase. The resulting phrase short-circuits the computation, i.e., only evaluates b if a is true.
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 alternative denial, i.e., NAND, of the arguments. This is equivalent to ¬({@param a } ∧ b ). Short-circuit the computation, i.e., only evaluate b if a is true.
Position Name Type Description
Parameters
1 a boolean
2 b []→boolean
Returns boolean

If the left-hand argument of _`↑_ is known statically to be true, then the static type of the expression is the negation of b 's return type.
