Executing boolean expressions on a list

Good day,

T);

recursive(N, [H | T]) -> somef(N, H) andalso recursive(N, T);
                                     ^^^^^^^
recursive(N, []) -> true.

This variant would be the right answer. `andalso' calculates it's right
part only if the left is true (as in C,Perl, etc).
