also, do && and || not have an operator fun?

[karelpeeters]

They shortcircuit and that wouldn't really translate well to an operator fun with standard arguments.

[karelpeeters]

I suppose they could do something like inline operator fun doubleAnd(left: Value, right: () -> Value) but that's starting to get complicated 🙂

[Florian]

ok I see

[Florian]

thanks

[Florian]

So this means not every operator is backed by an operator fun?

[karelpeeters]

Sure.

[Florian]

so what happens to these operators under the hood

[Florian]

the compiler just uses them directly?

[karelpeeters]

and, or and xor? Yeah, those get converted to the corresponding JVM bytecode without any function calls.

[Florian]

I mean the shortcircuit ones

[karelpeeters]

The compiler implements the logic for them internally yes, they're hardcoded somewhere.

[Florian]

thanks alot

[karelpeeters]

Haha and, or and xor that was the wrong thread my bad.

[Florian]

but its interesting to know that they dont get called as functions either
