Hi Jack,

And  "or" works in the inverse manner?  It "evaluates one argument at
a time and returns immediately if the argument is [True]." ?

For example,

>>> not (True or False)
>>> False

The first argument was "True", so "True" was returned and negated by
the "not" with a final result of "False" for the expression.

Is this correct?
