}

Detail

and does not set the exit number on failure so it is safe to use inside a try or trypipe block.

If and is prefixed by a bang then it returns true only when all code-blocks are unsuccessful.

Code-Block Testing

• and tests all code-blocks up until one of the code-blocks is unsuccessful, then and exits and returns false.

• !and tests all code-blocks up until one of the code-blocks is successful, then !and exits and returns false (ie !and is noting every code-block).
