+The comparison operators can be used as infix operators. A true results has a
+value of -1 whereas a false result has a value of 0. Note, these operators

+These two logical operations can be used to combine the results of sub

+value of 1 but a false results does still return 0. Also note that the logical
+or operator has a slightly lower precedence than logical and.
