<and>
<and>
is a Logic component
which checks to see whether all enclosed <boolean>
references are true
.
Attributes and Properties
The <and>
component has no attributes or properties.
Example: <and>
in a <boolean>
The <and>
component functions as the boolean operator and
or &
, and checks to see
whether all enclosed <boolean>
references are true
.
Example: <and>
in an <award>
An <and>
component is used to construct a compound boolean from three referenced <boolean>
components
within an <award>
.
Example: An alternative to <and>
The word and
may be typed directly within any component that takes a boolean
expression, such as an <award>
, a <when>
, or a <boolean>
. The text syntax must be used within a
boolean expression inside an attribute’s specification (since components such as <and>
are not
permissible in attribute specification). Compare the syntax in the example above
with that in the example with <and>
in a <boolean>
.
