Hi Milan,

thanks, I see what you mentioned with the “&&” operator. In fact, one case the behavior as I wanted is in crypto primitive (we need constant-time function to avoid time side-channel attack, for example, give any input for comparing with the secret hash value with fixed size, the time execution of comparing is constant.

Best,
Chan
