Both sets of Boolean operators have lower priority than the comparison operators, so none of the parentheses are needed in either of those cases -- it's the assigning operators (and ?:) that come between the symbolic and keyword Booleans, so that $a = $b = true&&$c means something different from $a = $b=true and $c Thanks for picking me up on that one!
