The basic syntax for using the AndAlso operator in an If statement is as follows:

If condition1 AndAlso condition2 Then
   ' code to execute if both conditions are true
End If

In the preceding example, the code block will be executed if both condition1 and condition2 are true. However, unlike the And operator, the AndAlso operator provides short-circuit evaluation, which means that if condition1 is false, condition2 will not be evaluated. Short-circuiting can improve performance in situations where considering condition2 is expensive or time-consuming.

Here’s an example that demonstrates the use of the AndAlso operator:

Dim var1 As Integer = 4
Dim var2 As Integer = 8
If var1 >= 4 AndAlso var2 < 8 Then
