and -- conjunction

Usage:

t and u
Inputs:
- t, a Boolean value or a function,
- u, a Boolean value or a function,
Outputs:
- a Boolean value or a function,

Description

If both t and u are booleans, then t and u returns true if both are true.

i1 : even 2 and isPrime 2

o1 = true

If they are both functions that return booleans, then the return value is also a function.

i2 : isEvenPrime = isPrime and even

o2 = isEvenPrime

o2 : FunctionClosure

i3 : isEvenPrime 2

o3 = true

i4 : isEvenPrime 3

o4 = false
