can you tell that I used perl a lot :wink: . could julia> (x == 2) && y=12 clash with anything? julia does not have the less binding “and” and “or” keywords afaik. I would love them, too. I think the user meaning for the ‘&&’ construct is amply clear, but julia of course complains (correctly)…

just to build on this. kind of similar to: [image] How to do one-liners and other short conditionals? General Usage Allow me to short-circuit the discussion and point to the relevant issues: #6823 and #16389 . Happy reading!
