Subject: Mixing logical operators
Message-ID: <1993Jan5.180216.7426@fcom.cc.utah.edu>
List-Id: <comp.lang.ada>

My copy of the Ada standard (ANSI/MIL-STD-1815A) says in 4.5.4:

	...for a sequence of operators of the same precedence level,
	the operators are associated in textual order from left to
	right...

which indicates to me that 

      if i=5 and j=2 or k=3 then
      ...

should be interpreted as 

       if (i=5 and j=2) or k=3 then

but the VAX Ada compiler complains that logical operators cannot be
intermixed.

Is the VAX compiler wrong?  Am I reading the appropriate part of the 
standard?

Shawn.
