Nor is it moot, since the answer to thetree's question is that the AND is evaluated first, not because it happens to be the left-most operator, but because it takes precedence over OR (and would therefore be evaluated first even if it were the right-most operator).

Given the scope for confusion, I suspect that predicate logicians do not write "A && B || C" but rather "(A && B) || C" or "A && (B || C)".
