A focused reference with a complete example. Numeric widths and experimental types still depend on the selected backend.

```yh
and
```


## Use and

Require both decisions to be true; the right side is skipped when the left side is false.

Verification: type checked

```yh
bool hasKey = true
bool doorOpen = false
bool canPass = hasKey and doorOpen
Console.Log(Text.From(canPass))

```

Save this beside start.yh as project.mech:

```toml
manifestVersion = "2"
package = "api.example.operator__and_620111"
version = "0.1.0"
languageEdition = "yeho-core-2026.1"

[app]
kind = "headless"

```

Extract the example archive beside the yeho and dolphin checkouts. This example requires those source dependencies and a current developer compiler.

```sh
./yeho/build/dolphin-metal/yehoc ./api-examples/operator--and-620111/complete --backend cpu-oracle -o /tmp/yeho-example
/tmp/yeho-example
```
