when coding I had a strange error where I was testing a bounding box area with && and checking the mouse position in the box, I was getting a positive anywhere aligned with either the box x and y coordinates.

After much head scratching I changed && for And now it works perfectly as expected.

it's just a simple:
global mx as integer
global my as integer

repeat
if mx>0 and mx <50
if my>0 and my <50
print( "In zone")
endif
endif

sync ()
until v <>0

change the and in each if statement for && it compiles but flags in zone anywhere in line with the area.

Yeah, that one confused me too, as I'm used to && being just a boolean this way ;

0 AND 0 = 0
0 AND 1 = 0
1 AND 0 = 0
1 AND 1 = 1

I suppose the other script language I was previously using didn't quite use it the proper way. As I always assumed AND and && to work the same way. Learning new things lol!

I've long since changed my code, but I am pretty sure I had a similar issue with using <> and if NOT ;

if not X = excluded_value
// do something
endif

instead of say:

if X <> excluded_value
// do something ...
endif

Ah I read somewhere that it can be used like and in if statements 'if x =1 and y=2' etc but if its a bitwise and then I will stick with and from now on
