Android Question [B4X] Boolean evaluation order

[SDFP Studio]

Hello, good morning,

A question I always ask myself to avoid imbricated 'if ... end if'.
Is there a constant order in evaluation of boolean conditional and does it stops when it become false ?

If InitVar2(Var1) and Var1 > Var2 then ....

If InitVar2(Var1) returns false does it stops evaluation or there is no rule ?

Thanks,
Francis

It goes from left to right and stops immediately when the result is determined (short circuit evaluation).

This is very important.
It allows writing code such as:

If i < List.Size And List.Get(i) = "abc" Then
