1.2 AND "1.2" --> 1

0 AND "1" --> 1

0 AND "0" --> 1

0 AND "" --> 0

Before the operation, the operand of the
type Number is converted to the type
Text, as a conversion from Text to Num-
ber
is not advisable. During the second
operation, the 0 is therefore converted to
"0", which corresponds to the logical
value 1 (true), as every character string
that is not empty is interpreted as 1.
