 Now that we can parse jlists, let's interpret them. Now that we can parse jlists, let's interpret them.
-Similar to the logical operators covered in the book, jlists short-circuit. +Similar to the logical operators covered in the book, conjunction lists short-circuit. 
-This means juncts are evaluated in order and, if a conjunct is false or a disjunct is true, evaluation stops and immediately returns false or true respectively.+That means conjuncts are evaluated in order and, if a single conjunct is false, evaluation immediately stops and returns false. 
 +In an odd contrast, disjunction lists do //not// short-circuit; this is because they are used to express nondeterminism, as you will learn several chapters from now.
