I "invented" that "idiom" for Python in the early 90's, in a silly| thread where Steven Majewski and I tortured each other with the worst| constructs we could dream up.  If you ever see production code that actually| *uses* it, I encourage you to kill the author.You don't even need 'and' / 'or' anymore:(lambda t:([a for i in (1,) if t]+[b for i in (1,) if not t])[0])(x)<duck>      - Amit -- --Amit J Patel, Computer Science Department, Stanford Universityhttp://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/
