[erlang-questions] Order of evaluation of guards

[Danil Zagoskin]

Alternatively, you may split complex logic to several clauses:
f(N, M) when N > 100, M > 100 -> % Both too large
  not_cool;
f(N, M) when N < 100, M < 100 -> % Both too small
  not_cool;
f(N, M) when N > 0, M > 0 -> % Both are greater than 0, after previous
clauses exactly one of them greater than 100
  cool;
f(_, _) ->
  not_cool.
