Jan 24, 2016 at 16:47 comment added Étienne "not", "or", and "and" are only provided for backwards compatibility, in order to support extremely old keyboards, e.g. not having the sign "|". This is an extremely bad suggestion to use them, they are almost never used in real code.
Jan 24, 2016 at 16:29 comment added JnxF First of all, I appreciate your comments. I will take them into account. On the other hand, in Programming class we were encouraged to use not, or and and instead of !, || and &&, as they "improve legibility". Are not those keywords common in the "real world", but in learning terms?
Jan 24, 2016 at 16:26 comment added nhgrif I might disagree that using an unfamiliar keyword with a far more common alternative exists is "not a problem in any way".
