Actually, what I proved is that " and " etc. are bitwise and not logical. ;)
A more realistic example than the "1 and 2" one is in the potential optimization of this code segment:
Code: [Select]
If A=/=0 and (B=/=0You might think "Hey, it's testing =/=0; I can just remove that!" But, if A=1 and B=2, for example, "A and B" will yield a different result. That's part of how I encountered bugs a few times.
Also, Ashbad, your code works just the same as
Code: [Select]
If X=0 and (Y>5) or (Y=16)(You don't need the parentheses around the arguments to " and ")
Note too that just because they are bitwise doesn't mean that you need parentheses. Those rules apply for any infix (taking arguments like "ArgA OPERATION ArgB") operator, and probably others.
What you said is just a direct effect of Axe's utter lack of order of operations ;)

Also, after someone else posts another feature request, if we want to talk about this more could we do it in another thread? Otherwise it makes it a bit hard to see feature requests ;D

Goplat: Latin is far, far worse for Google Translate.
Take, for example, the pair of sentences
Quote from: Latin
haec feci quia poteram
Quote from: English
I did these things because I could
These mean the same thing. Asking Google Translate to take Latin to English gives this:
Quote
I could have done, because these things
And from the original English to Latin:
Quote
feci haec quod potui
Which translates correctly back to English (though it originally had "propter" for "quod", which is wrong grammatically.)
So, using it to understand Latin fails, and you need some knowledge of Latin to get it to work in the other direction.

Quisquamne hic est qui Latine scribere possit?

Note to others: don't use Google Translate for Latin; it's horrendous.
yunhua: fail :P
This is supposed to be serious, mind you, as evidenced by it's placement in miscellaneous, not spam ;)

Different things work best for different people. My teacher likes to recommend flashcards, which help a lot of people. There are lots of other techniques. You can associate a word with a similar-meaning derivative, for example.

Well, the only two main parts are grammar and vocabulary. Being "fluent" to some extent is also rather difficult.

Those are definitely bitwise. For example, "1 and 2" returns 0, though, if it were logical, it would return 1.
This happened to be the source of several bugs in some of my Axe programs, mind you :P

Hic Latine loquamur! (aut Anglice loqui tibi licet si non potes :P)
Quaere omnia quae de Latina lingua cognoscere velis.

Here let us speak Latin! (or you are permitted to speak in English if you are not able :P)
Ask all things which you wish to learn about the Latin language.

Ah, that's what you meant. Silly me :P
We used Jenney's First Year Latin for years I-IV (:P) and in IV we also use some book for Ovid's Metamorphoses.
Edit: I'll just create a new topic, the old one's in Spam and I don't want to move it.

I'm taking it as a regular, not-online class. Not sure if you meant anything else.
Now to bump the thread!

That's what " and ", " or ", and " xor " are for ;)

I'm taking Latin IV right now, so obviously I don't think it's evil :P
The hardest part of any language is acquiring a sizable vocabulary.
Learning any language is also, like above, a lot of work, so don't get upset if your first experience is awful :)
Good luck!

Also, I'll bump a Latin-language thread that's rather old for anyone interested in the language or writing in it.
