XPath logical 'and' not working as expected?

Below is my XML output:

<information>
    <type>
        <slot>0</slot>
        <state>Online</state>
        <name>JAMES</name>
    </type>
    <type>
        <slot>3</slot>
        <state>Online</state>
        <name>Santa</name>
    </type>
</information>

I am looking for a way to get the value of slot as 0 and 3.

XPath:

/information/type[name="JAMES" and name="Santa"]/slot

expected output:

<slot>0</slot>
<slot>3</slot>

Change the and to an or:

/information/type[name="JAMES" or name="Santa"]/slot

Even though you want to select 0 and 3, the logical property that you want to select is actually that the string value of the name element is "JAMES" or "Santa". It's the logical property that has to be placed in the predicate.
