I’m trying to use broadcasting on logical operators in Julia. I find that the same broadcasting code works in v1.7 (right) but not v1.6 (left).
Can anyone explain why this is the case? What is a workaround for this scenario? I’d like to have the same lines of code that work on both v1.6 and v1.7.
Thanks in advance!

it’s in the 1.7 release news: [Dot-broadcasting for short-circuiting ops .&& and .|| by mbauman · Pull Request #39594 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/39594)

`.|` might work? the problem is `||` is technically short-circuit
