1. In Scheme, 0 and 1 are both true values. Neither of them is false.
In Scheme, only one value is false: #f, or false.
2. In Scheme, AND returns the value of the last expression so long as
it isn't false.
You're seeing the combination of these two behaviors.
Why are you using 0 instead of #f/false to represent a false value?
Or is it that 0 represents falsity in your domain, and you need to map
it to false? If so, use the code Robby sent.
