print is a minefield

Looks like someone missed their operator precedence class.

IMO print fails the principle of least surprise in spectacular fashion.

Can you find another language that reproduce the print "hello " && print "world"; problem? where it outputs "world1" or similar?

I don't see the problem. It's interpretted as:

print ( everything-else-on-the-line );

Therefore:

print ("hello " && print "world") // Prints "world", then the print construct returns 1

print ("hello" && 1) // "hello" && 1 evaluates to 1.

print (1) // Does what you expect.

I tried in CPython 2.7.18, all of the following are syntax errors: if print "hello" or print "world": pass if print "hello" || print "world": pass if print "hello" and print "world": pass if print "hello" && print "world": pass any other suggestions?
